Embodiment 7
[0086] Accordingly, the present invention provides methods for treating patients in need of anticancer therapy, including inhibiting tumor growth, inhibiting tumor metastasis, and inducing tumor resistance by administering non-pathogenic viruses to the patient. Notably, the tumor treatment regimens described herein do not require the identification of tumor-specific antigens. Therefore, non-pathogenic viruses have a wide range of applications and have curative effects on various types of tumors. See Examples 2-6.
Embodiment 2-6
[0087] While the inventors do not wish to be bound by a particular mode of operation, the inventors believe that the anticancer activity of the non-pathogenic virus is attributable, at least in part, to its immunostimulatory activity. For example, baculovirus induces dendritic cell maturation and cytotoxic T cell (CTL) responses both in vitro and in vivo. See Examples 9-10. See also Gronowski et al. (1999) J Virol. 73:9944-51.
[0088] The term "virus" as used herein is used to describe an effective anti-tumor composition, including live virus, inactivated virus, viral particles, viral inclusion bodies, virosomes, virus-like particles, viral components and mixtures thereof.
[0089] Virosomes and virus-like particles (VLPs) typically contain one or more proteins of a non-pathogenic virus, optionally with the addition of phospholipids. In certain embodiments, virions and VLPs are non-replicating and do not contain any native viral genome. Viral proteins can be produced by re...
Embodiment 17
[0122] In order to screen non-pathogenic viruses with anti-infectious disease activity, the in vitro or in vivo anti-infectious disease detection methods well known to those skilled in the art are used to detect candidate non-pathogenic viruses. For example, for tuberculosis, a TB model or an in vitro macrophage model can be used to test the anti-infectious disease activity of the virus. Abe et al., (Journal of Immunology, 2003, 171:1133-1139) describe other methods suitable for testing the activity of compounds against infectious diseases.
[0123] In some embodiments, in vitro tests are used to conduct preliminary screening, and then to evaluate whether those viruses with in vitro activity also have anti-infectious disease activity in vivo in related animal models.
[0124] Accordingly, the present invention also provides methods of treating a patient in need of anti-infectious disease treatment by administering to the patient a non-pathogenic virus. Notably, the non-pathog...
