A new species of circovirus, porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3), was identified from sows with clinical symptoms normally associated with porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infection and in aborted fetuses. Molecular and serological analyses suggest PCV3 commonly circulates in U.S. swine. The present disclosure provides immunological compositions and methods related to the production and administration of such compositions.

A heavy-chain variable region sequence of the nanobody CPV-VHH-H1 has the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1; and a gene encoding the nanobody CPV-VHH-H1 has the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2. A nanobody immune library of the CPV is constructed by a phage display technology, a specific anti-CPV nanobody CPV-VHH-H1 is obtained by screening, and it is verified by experiments that the nanobody may specifically bind to the CPV. A new nanobody preparation for use in clinical diagnosis and treatment of the CPV can be developed, and a certain theoretical reserve is provided for applying the nanobody to the field of veterinary biological products.

A composition for treatment of African Swine Fever in swine includes avian-sourced antibodies specific for an African Swine Fever Virus isolate. These antibodies are produced by avian animals immunized against the African Swine Fever Virus isolate and mixed with a protective/reactive matrix obtained from, isolated from, or derived from, non-hyperimmune colostrum.

The present disclosure relates to an isolated anti-AAV (adeno-associated virus) antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof capable of specifically binding an epitope of AAVrh74 capsid protein and uses thereof.

Provided are various embodiments relating to parvovirus antibodies, including caninized, felinized, and chimeric antibodies, that bind to canine and/or feline parvovirus, for example, having improved expression characteristics. In various embodiments, the parvovirus antibodies have ADCC, ADCP, and/or CDC effector functions. In various embodiments, such monoclonal parvovirus antibodies can be used in methods to prevent and/or treat parvoviral infection in subjects, such as dogs and cats. For example, the parvovirus antibodies provided may be used to provide passive immunity against infection with a canine or feline parvovirus.

A composition and method for therapeutic or prophylactic treatment of mammals includes a mixture of IgY antibodies derived from one or more eggs laid by one or more avian species, wherein each of the one or more avian species have been vaccinated with one or more of the plurality of antigens. The mixture of IgY antibodies can be combined with a protective material that includes colostrum. In some embodiments the composition can also include IgA and IgM antibodies.

This disclosure provides methods for identifying a subject suitable for an adeno associated virus (AAV) therapy. In some embodiments, the method comprises measuring a titer of an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof that specifically binds to an AAV (anti-AAV antibody) in a biological sample obtained from the subject using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Disclosed herein are recombinant antibodies or the fragments thereof for detecting African swine fever virus (ASFV). Also disclosed herein are kits comprising the recombinant antibodies, and methods of diagnosing the infection of ASFV by using the recombinant antibody or kit.

The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for the treatment of diseases and/or disorders in a subject, including, but not limited to neurological disorders such as giant axonal neuropathy. The methods described herein include direct administration of a gene therapy (e.g. an rAAV viral vector) to a subject via injection into a vagus nerve (e.g. the left vagus nerve) of the subject.

Provided herein are methods of producing immunoglobulin Y (IgY) antibodies against monkeypox virus. The method includes immunizing hens with a peptide encoding at least one immunogenic domain of A29 fusion protein from the monkeypox virus and isolating the IgY antibodies against the A29 fusion protein from yolks of eggs laid by the immunized hens. Pharmaceutical compositions containing the IgY antibodies and methods of inhibiting or treating monkeypox virus infection are also provided.
