Compositions, Methods and Systems for the Delivery of Gene Editing Material to Cells
This disclosure provides compositions, methods, and systems comprising a papillomaviral delivery vehicle for the delivery of gene editing material to cells. The papillomaviral delivery vehicle comprises a papillomavirus-derived capsid and DNA encoding a gene editing material encapsulated by the capsid. The papillomaviral delivery vehicle can be transduced into a cell under conditions conducive for the cell to synthesize the gene editing material. The cell can comprise a polynucleotide target and the gene editing material can target the polynucleotide target. The polynucleotide target can be a DNA polynucleotide target or RNA polynucleotide target.
STEM CELLS COMPRISING SYNTHETIC CHIMERIC VACCINIA VIRUS AND METHODS OF USING THEM
The invention relates in various aspects to stem cells comprising a synthetic chimeric poxvirus (scPV), which can be used for the treatment of cancer or other infectious diseases. It also relates to methods for delivering the scPV comprising infecting the stem cells with the scPV and administering the infected stem cells to a subject.
EFFICIENT INFECTION OF PRIMARY KERATINOCYTES BY HPV16
The claimed invention includes method comprising exposing HPV virions to an extra cellular matrix deposition outside of a mammalian body for a first set amount of time. The claimed invention also includes a virion subjected to such method. The claimed invention further includes a mammalian cell infected by a virion subjected to such method.
Next-Generation Sequencing-Based Genotyping Assay for Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)
Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for detecting and diagnosing HPV in subjects. The method includes using Next Gen Sequencing for detecting HPV in a sample and determining the specific subtype of HPV infection based on the sequencing data.
Viruses associated with immunodeficiency and enteropathy and methods using same
The present invention relates to previously undescribed viruses that are associated with significant expansion of the virome, immunodeficiency, and enteropathy during lentiviral infection. The invention also provides methods to detect acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) or AIDS progression in a subject, methods to diagnose immunodeficiency or enteropathy in a subject, and methods to identify a therapeutic agent to treat the same.
