Recombinant proteins of parapoxvirus ovis and pharmaceutical compositions therefrom

The present invention relates to the use of strains of Parapoxvirus ovis as immunotherapeutic agents for immunodeficiencies of an infectious or non-infectious nature, and to the use of strains of Parapoxvirus ovis for treating tumor diseases and viral infections, and diseases which accompany them, and the use of strains of Parapoxvirus ovis for producing medicaments for use in humans and animals.

Methods of treating viral infections

The present invention relates to the use, in humans, of inactivated parapoxviruses for the prophylaxis and treatment of diseases which are accompanied by an increased deposition of collagen, with it being possible for both internal organs, such as the liver, and the skin and its appended structures, to be affected. The invention relates, in particular, to liver fibrosis and/or liver cirrhosis consequent upon virus hepatitis, or to ethanol-induced liver diseases and to cystic fibrosis.
