Abstract: A mammalian expression system comprising an attenuated, recombinant Ranavirus that has at least one foreign expression element using a unique combination of mammalian transcriptional and translational enhancement elements is disclosed. In other contemplated embodiments, a mammalian expression system comprising a virus, wherein the virus is engineered to express at least two vaccine antigens is disclosed. In addition, methods of delivering human antigens to a mammal are disclosed that include: providing a non-mammalian virus, engineering a recombinant virus that can express at least one foreign molecule by modifying the non-mammalian virus, and using the recombinant Ranavirus to express and deliver foreign antigens to a mammal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds and their compositions, and the use of such compounds and compositions in the prevention and/or treatment of respiratory infections, or diseases or conditions associated with coronavirus infections. The compositions comprise therapeutically effective amounts of a TLR2 agonist. Certain embodiments specify that the TLR2 agonist is a pegylated, palmitoylated-cysteine compound of Formula (I), (VI), (VII) or (VIII).

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods related to IL-25 binding molecules.

Abstract: A mammalian expression system comprising an attenuated, recombinant ranavirus strain that has at least one expression element is disclosed. A method of delivering antigens to a mammal is disclosed that includes: providing a mammalian expression system comprising an attenuated, recombinant ranavirus strain that has at least one expression element; and administering to the mammal a therapeutic amount of the attenuated, recombinant ranavirus strain that has at least one expression element.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods related to IL-25 binding molecules.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods, compositions and kits for the treatment or prevention of respiratory conditions. In particular, the methods, compositions and kits are particularly useful, but not limited to, the prevention and/or treatment of rhinovirus infection and the prevention and/or treatment of asthma exacerbation. The invention provides a method inhibiting a rhinovirus infection in a subject comprising administering a composition consisting of a compound comprising a TLR2 agonist and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: A vaccine vector comprising an attenuated, recombinant ranavirus that has at least one foreign expression element is disclosed. In other contemplated embodiments, a vaccine vector comprising a virus, wherein the virus is engineered to express at least two vaccine antigens is disclosed. In addition, methods of delivering human antigens to a mammal are disclosed that include: providing a non-mammalian virus, engineering a recombinant virus that can express at least one foreign molecule by modifying the non-mammalian virus, and using the recombinant ranavirus to deliver human antigens to a mammal.

Abstract: The invention relates to compounds of formula (I): wherein R1, R2, Y, R4 and R5 are as defined herein. The compounds are intermediates in the synthesis of synthetic bile acids.
