CHIMPANZEE ADENOVIRUS CONSTRUCTS WITH LYSSAVIRUS ANTIGENS
The invention provides adenoviral vectors comprising transgenes encoding Lyssaviral antigens. The vectors can be used to produce vaccines for the prophylaxis, amelioration and treatment of diseases caused by Lyssaviral diseases, e.g., rabies.
Broadly neutralizing antibodies directed against the rabies virus glycoprotein and uses thereof
The invention relates to antibodies, and antigen binding fragments thereof, that potently neutralize infection of both RABV and non-RABV lyssaviruses. The invention also relates to antigenic sites to which the antibodies and antigen binding fragments bind, as well as to nucleic acids that encode and immortalized B cells and cultured plasma cells that produce such antibodies and antibody fragments. In addition, the invention relates to the use of the antibodies and antibody fragments of the invention in screening methods as well as in the diagnosis, prophylaxis and treatment of RABV infection and infection with non-RABV lyssaviruses.

Systems and methods for virus propagation in cell cultures for vaccine manufacture
The present invention provides a closed system to propagate virus-infected cells without the effect of shear force, while providing quicker access to nutrients than is available conventionally. This system design allows for a high density of infected cell growth to increase the virus yields and to maintain homogeneity of the contents of the main container. The system further provides a nuclease to degrade the cellular DNA prior for purification of the virus or viral components. As the system is designed for maximum containment at low risk, the live virus can be a hazardous virus such as a Bio-safety Level 3 (BSL 3), BSL 4 or BSL5 virus.
