Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus‐HSP70‐shRNA Amplifies Viral Replication, ROS/Autophagy, and Immunity to Fight Colorectal Cancer

open access: yesCancer Science, Volume 117, Issue 7, Page 2007-2020, July 2026.
OncoVV‑shHSP70, a vaccinia virus silencing HSP70, demonstrated potent antitumor efficacy in colorectal cancer cell lines, as well as in syngeneic, xenograft, and humanized mouse models. In cell lines, oncoVV‑shHSP70 promoted viral oncolysis and cytokine production through a self‑reinforcing cycle of ROS‑autophagy. In both CT26 and SW620‑humanized mouse

THE STABILITY OF VARIOLA VIRUS PROPAGATED IN EMBRYONATED EGGS [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Medicine, 1943
After 24 transfers in embryonated eggs a strain of variola virus (Chinese) was established in the testis of the rabbit and maintained for 11 passages at intervals of 7 days. Residence in the rabbit testis was not accompanied by any significant alteration in the species identity of the virus.

HIV‐1 viral load and reservoir size remain stable following SARS‐CoV‐2 mRNA vaccination in people with HIV

open access: yesHIV Medicine, Volume 27, Issue 7, Page 1120-1131, July 2026.
Abstract Background The potent immunogenicity of mRNA vaccination raised concerns about its impact on HIV‐1 viral load (VL) and reservoir size in people with HIV, which could drive vaccine hesitancy. As part of a prospective clinical trial, we investigated whether SARS‐CoV‐2 mRNA vaccination induced changes in VL and reservoir size after a 1‐year three‐

Strategies for the Modification of Vaccinia Virus towards a Better Vaccine Vector

open access: yesZoonoses
Vaccinia virus (VACV) confers cross-protective immunity against variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox, and has therefore been extensively exploited as a preventive vaccine.

Pharmacy‐Based Immunization Delivery: A Comprehensive History and Current Challenges

open access: yesJACCP: JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF CLINICAL PHARMACY, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Pharmacists and their teams have a long history of involvement with vaccines. This paper describes the contributions of pharmacy‐based immunization delivery in the United States from the 1800's to date. Early activities centered around storage and distribution of antitoxins and vaccines. From the 1950s through the early 1990s, pharmacists were

Evidence for Persistence of Ectromelia Virus in Inbred Mice, Recrudescence Following Immunosuppression and Transmission to Naïve Mice.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2015
Orthopoxviruses (OPV), including variola, vaccinia, monkeypox, cowpox and ectromelia viruses cause acute infections in their hosts. With the exception of variola virus (VARV), the etiological agent of smallpox, other OPV have been reported to persist in ...

Orthopoxvirus Genes That Mediate Disease Virulence and Host Tropism

open access: yesAdvances in Virology, 2012
In the course of evolution, viruses have developed various molecular mechanisms to evade the defense reactions of the host organism. When understanding the mechanisms used by viruses to overcome manifold defense systems of the animal organism ...

Orthopoxvirus Genome Evolution: The Role of Gene Loss

open access: yesViruses, 2010
Poxviruses are highly successful pathogens, known to infect a variety of hosts. The family Poxviridae includes Variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox, which has been eradicated as a public health threat but could potentially reemerge as a ...
