Disclosed are the H. zea nudivirus sequence and two additional related sequences from H. virescens and H. armigera nudiviruses for development of genetically modified nudiviruses capable of being sexually transmitted by an insect useful for controlling pest populations. Such genetically modified nudiviruses are capable of causing sterility in a target population of insects. Previously disclosed were insects infected with the previously disclosed genetically modified H. zea nudivirus, methods of making genetically modified nudiviruses, and methods of using genetically modified nudiviruses to control an insect pest population.

Methods for continuously inactivating virus during manufacture of a biological product are provided. The methods include steps of (1) combining (a) a composition including a biological product, and (b) a composition including a virus-inactivation reagent, to obtain (c) a treatment composition having a predetermined property for inactivation of a virus, (2) confirming that the treatment composition exhibits the predetermined property, (3) transferring the treatment composition to a treatment vessel that includes an inlet, an outlet, and a static mixer, the transferring occurring at the inlet, (4) incubating the treatment composition in the treatment vessel at a predetermined temperature while the treatment composition flows at a predetermined rate and contacts the static mixer, and (5) collecting the treatment composition from the treatment vessel at the outlet, wherein steps (1) to (5) are carried out continuously. Apparatuses and systems including such a treatment vessel are also provided.

The present invention relates to a vaccine composition containing a virus inactivated by a green tea extract, and a preparation method therefor. According to the present invention, when a virus is treated with a green tea extract, there are simultaneous effects of virus inactivation and excellent immunogenicity maintenance, and thus an inactivated vaccine can be prepared by mixing the green tea extract of the present invention and a virus with a proliferative capacity, and infectious diseases caused by the corresponding virus can be effectively prevented since an immune reaction to the corresponding virus is induced when a vaccine composition prepared by the preparation method of the present invention is administered to a subject. In addition, there are advantages of enabling the preparation of a safe virus vaccine since the green tea extract of the present invention is nontoxic, and a preparation process is economical since, unlike a chemical material-based preparation process, a dialysis process is unnecessary.
