Abstract: Disclosed are methods and compositions for preventing, treating, and/or ameliorating one or more symptoms of inflammation in a mammal. In particular, viral vectors and medicaments containing them are disclosed, which are useful in the prophylaxis, therapy, or amelioration of symptoms of one or more inflammatory-mediated mammalian diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), arthritis, Bechet's disease, Best macular dystrophy, corneal inflammation, diabetic retinopathy, drusen formation, dry AMD, dry eye, geographic atrophy, glaucomaocular neovascularization, Lupus erythematosus, macular degeneration, Mallatia Leventinese and Doyne honeycomb retinal dystrophy, nephritis, ocular hypertension, ocular inflammation, recurrent uveitis, Sorsby fundus dystrophy, vasculitis, vitreoretinopathy, wet AMD, or related disorders.

Abstract: In some aspects, the disclosure relates to compositions and methods that are useful for treating inflammatory disorders and conditions. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors and particles encoding a transgene that expresses a Myxomavirus serine proteinase inhibitor (Serp) protein (e.g., Serp-1) and methods for treating inflammatory disorders using the same.

Abstract: Disclosed here are polypeptides, derived from the Myxomavirus-derived secreted glycoprotein, M-T7, comprising point mutations that interfere with chemokine-glycosaminoglycan binding. Compositions containing such M-T7 derived polypeptides with point mutations are therefore useful in preventing, blocking and/or reducing rejection of a transplant.

Abstract: Disclosed here are peptides derived from a serpin reactive center loop that have anti¬inflammatory, anti-atherogenic and anti-sepsis activity. Compositions containing such serpin-derived peptides are therefore useful in the treatment of transplant vascular disease and also for the treatment of hemorrhagic viral infections as well as lethal viral, fungal or bacterial sepsis in patients.
