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: The disclosure provides Myxoma virus that expresses one or more immunomodulatory transgenes and its use in inhibiting and/or treating a hematological cancer in a subject. The disclosure also provides a leukocyte having a Myxoma virus that expresses one or more immunomodulatory transgenes and the use of the leukocyte for inhibiting and/or treating a hematological cancer in a subject.

Abstract: The disclosure provides Myxoma viruses that express one or more multi-specific immune cell engagers, such as BiKE, BiTE and/or MiTE and their use in inhibiting and/or treating a hematological cancer in a subject. The disclosure also provides a leukocyte having a Myxoma virus that expresses one or more multi-specific immune cell engagers, and the use of the leukocyte for inhibiting and/or treating a hematological cancer in a subject.

Abstract: Disclosed herein, in certain embodiments, are recombinant myxoma viruses (MYXVs) and nucleic acid constructs encoding the recombinant MYXVs. In some embodiments, the MYXVs are engineered to inactivate or attenuate an activity or expression level of an M153 protein. In some embodiments, the MYXVs are engineered to express one or more transgenes such as a tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-12 (IL-12), or decorin. Also disclosed herein, in certain embodiments, are methods of using the MYXVs. Some embodiments include providing a MYXV as described herein to a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and compositions of treating cancer, comprising administrating to a subject with cancer a therapeutically effective amount of an oncolytic virus and a nucleocytoplasmic transport inhibitor. Further described herein are methods of converting a nonpermissive cancer cell to a permissive cancer cell and methods of killing a cancer cell by contacting the cancer cell with a therapeutically effective amount of an oncolytic vims and a nucleocytoplasmic transport inhibitor.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for inhibiting and/or treating a hematological cancer in a subject in need thereof using a myxoma virus that expresses one or more immunomodulatory transgenes, which includes FAST p14.

Also disclosed herein, in certain embodiments, are methods of using the MYXVs. Some embodiments include providing a MYXV as described herein to a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: A method of producing poxviruses at an increased growth rate and/or progeny virus titer in cells, the method including: contacting a host cell with an effective amount of nucleocytoplasmic transport inhibitor; contacting the host cell with a poxvirus of interest under conditions that permit the poxvirus of interest to adsorb to the surface of the host cell; and culturing the host cell to produce progeny poxvirus of interest.

Abstract: Disclosed herein, in certain embodiments, is a method of inhibiting or treating a cancer with use of a TNF expressing myxoma virus. Also disclosed herein are methods of inhibiting or treating a cancer with use of a mononuclear peripheral blood cells and/or a bone marrow cells treated with a TNF-expressing myxoma virus. Some aspects relate to engineered myxoma virus and pharmaceutical compositions for use with one or more of the methods described herein.

Abstract: The disclosure provides Myxoma vims that expresses one or more immunomodulatory transgenes and its use in inhibit-mg and/or treating a hematological cancer in a subject. The disclosure also provides a leukocyte having a Myxoma virus that expresses one or more immunomodulatory transgenes and the use of the leukocyte for inhibiting and/or treating a hematological cancer in a subject.

Abstract: The present invention relates to therapeutic use of a combination of Myxoma virus, including in combination with rapamycin. Treatment with rapamycin enhances the ability of Myxoma virus to selectively infect cells that have a deficient innate anti-viral response, including cells that are not responsive to interferon. The combination of rapamycin and Myxoma virus can be used to treat diseases characterized by the presence of such cells, including cancer. The invention also relates to therapeutic use of Myxoma virus that does not express functional M135R.
