A recombinant BHV-1 oncolytic virus is provided comprising a BHV-1 mutant with enhanced cancer selectivity and/or enhance immunostimulatory activity as compared to wildtype BHV-1. The BHV-1 mutant is genetically modified to express one or more immunomodulatory molecules that induce an anti-tumor immune response. A method of generating the recombinant BHV-1 oncolytic virus is also provided.

A method for promoting replication of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis viruses using cold atmospheric plasma, including: irradiating a medium for Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells with a cold atmospheric plasma generator; adding the irradiated medium to the Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells; and adding infectious bovine rhinotracheitis viruses for incubation. The time required for treatment is 2 min allowing for a simple and rapid operation. The plasma is used for the indirect treatment of cells with a uniform process and a controllable intensity. The replication of the infectious bovine rhinotracheitis viruses in the Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells is significantly promoted by co-incubation in the treated DMEM for 1 hour, so that the high levels of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis viruses obtained can be used for vaccine production after inactivation, improving the vaccine production efficiency.

Provided herein are compositions and methods for vaccination and research applications. In particular, provided herein are non-neuroinvasive herpesviruses and alpha herpesviruses and uses thereof.

The virus stabilizer is a virus stabilizer comprising a gelatin hydrolysate and an aqueous medium, wherein the virus stabilizer contains the gelatin hydrolysate at not less than 1 mass % and not more than 20 mass %, the gelatin hydrolysate has a weight average molecular weight of not more than 10000, and the gelatin hydrolysate has an isoelectric point pH of not less than 4.0 and not more than 7.0.

The present invention relates to the technical field of porcine pseudorabies virus, and more particularly to a porcine pseudorabies virus (PRV)-YF strain, with the preservation No. of CCTCC No. V201502. The present invention also provides an application of the porcine pseudorabies virus (PRV)-YF strain in preparing an inactivated vaccine of the porcine pseudorabies virus, the inactivated vaccine of the porcine pseudorabies virus and a preparation method thereof. It is proved through an immune efficacy evaluating test and a safety test that the inactivated vaccine of the porcine pseudorabies virus has good immune protective efficacy and is safe for weaned piglets, replacement gilts, pregnant sows and the like.
