Disclosed is a virus inhibiting Wnt signaling and a method for Wnt signaling using the virus. Also disclosed is a method for treating tumors using the virus.

There is a disclosed a method of killing abnormal cells such as malignant cells including melanoma cells, using a virus recognising at least one of a cell adhesion molecule and a complement regulatory protein. The virus may be a member of the Picornaviridae family. Coxsackie A-group viruses have been found to be particularly suitable. The cell adhesion molecule is desirably a member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. Typically, the complement regulatory protein will be DAF.

The present disclosure relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a nucleic acid molecule of an adjuvant, a metal complex stabilizing the nucleic acid molecule, and optionally an immunogen that may be a peptide or a protein, or a composition of stabilizing the nucleic acid molecule of the adjuvant comprising the metal complex. The metal complex interacts with the nucleic acid molecule of the adjuvant and/or the immunogen so as to stabilize such pharmaceutically active ingredients, and induces continuous effectiveness of the active ingredients without degradation.

Provided is an Enterovirus D68 adapted to propagate to high titers in Vero cells and method of adaptation thereof. Also provided is a suitable vaccine composition including inactivated Enterovirus D68 antigen.

Provided are an enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) or a modified form thereof, or a nucleic acid molecule comprising a genomic sequence or cDNA sequence of the EV-D68 or a modified form thereof, or a complementary sequence of the genomic sequence or cDNA sequence, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising the EV-D68 or a modified form thereof, or the nucleic acid molecule, and use of the EV-D68 or a modified form thereof, or the nucleic acid molecule in the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for treating a tumor.

The invention relates to methods of treating tumours comprising delivering an oncolytic virus or oncolytic viral RNA via direct injection or systemic administration or intravesicular administration to the tumour or cancer in combination with the co-administration of an immuno-stimulatory agent via the systemic route to a mammal.

The present disclosure relates to hand, foot, and mouth disease vaccines and immunogenic compositions having one or more antigens from at least one virus that causes hand, foot, and mouth disease in humans, and methods of manufacture, formulation, and testing, and uses thereof.

The invention relates to methods of treating tumours comprising delivering an oncolytic virus or oncolytic viral RNA via direct injection or systemic administration or intravesicular administration to the tumour or cancer in combination with the co-administration of an immuno-stimulatory agent via the systemic route to a mammal.

Human clinical use of a chimeric poliovirus construct has demonstrated excellent anti-tumor effect. Sequential treatment with the virus construct followed by chemotherapy drugs increases the anti-tumor effect. Tumors of different types are susceptible to the combination treatment, including but not limited to melanoma, glioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, medulloblastoma, and colorectal cancer.

Provided are an enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) or a modified form thereof, or a nucleic acid molecule comprising a genomic sequence or cDNA sequence of the EV-D68 or a modified form thereof, or a complementary sequence of the genomic sequence or cDNA sequence, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising the EV-D68 or a modified form thereof, or the nucleic acid molecule, and use of the EV-D68 or a modified form thereof, or the nucleic acid molecule in the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for treating a tumor.
