    摘要: The disclosure relates to a fusion protein comprising at least a first and a second peptide, wherein —the second peptide comprises a targeting region and a first and a second interaction region, —the second peptide is located on the surface of the fusion protein; —the second peptide comprises at least two interaction pairs, wherein an interaction pair is formed by an amino acid of the first interaction region and an amino acid of the second interaction region, —the interaction between the amino acids of an interaction pair is covalent or non-covalent; and —at least one interaction pair is a covalent interaction pair in which the amino acids are covalently bound, and to virus like particles (VLP) comprising the fusion protein for use as drug delivery system. Also provided are polynucleotides encoding the fusion protein, suitable expression vectors, host cells, production methods for the fusion protein and the VLP comprising the fusion protein.

    摘要: Methods of treating cancer including administering to a subject with cancer a pharmaceutical composition including an effective amount of a chimeric VSV virus are disclosed. The chimeric viruses are based on a VSV background where the VSV G protein is replaced with one or more heterologous viral glycoproteins. In the most preferred embodiment, the VSV G protein is replaced with the glycoprotein from Lassa virus or a functional fragment thereof. The resulting chimeric virus is an oncolytic virus that is attenuated and safe in the brain, yet still retains sufficient oncolytic activity to infect and destroy cancer cells such glioblastoma, and to generate an immune response against infected cancer cells. Methods of using chimeric viruses as a platform for immunization against other pathogenic microbes are also provided.
