## Abstract

A new generalized Wick theorem for interacting fields in 2D conformal field theory is described. We briefly discuss its relation to the Borcherds identity and its derivation by an analytic method. Examples of the calculations of the operator product expansions by using the generalized Wick theorems including fermionic fields are also presented.
