Gene Therapy of Solid Tumours by Means of Retroviral Vectors Pseudotyped With Arenavirus Glycoproteins

摘要

The present invention concerns the use of packaging cells which produce retroviral virions pseudotyped with arenavirus glycoprotein, for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for the gene therapy of solid tumors. The invention further concerns the use of the virions which are produced by these packaging cells, for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for the gene therapy of solid tumors. Furthermore, packaging cells which are suitable for this application and pharmaceutical compositions containing these cells are subject matter of the invention.
