Abstract: A method for preparing a viral aerosol from a dilute viral suspension prepared by dissolving a virus in an aqueous solution containing 6-12 g/l of a monovalent cation salt, or 50-100 g/l of a hexose, which is then nebulized with a gas pressure of 0.5-3.5 bars or an ultrasonic frequency of 2-5 MHz. The resulting aerosol composition is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method for preserving infectious recombinant viruses in frozen or liquid form, in which infectious viruses are preserved in an aqueous solution. The recombinant virus suspension comprises an aqueous sucrose solution at a concentration of 0.75 M or above, preferably between 0.75 M and 1.5 M, or more preferably at a concentration of 1 M. The preserved aqueous viral suspension further provides a medicament that can be used therapeutically or prophylactically for the treatment of a human or animal body by gene therapy.
