GENE THERAPY FOR TUMOR USING MINUS-STRAND RNA VIRUS VECTOR ENCODING IMMUNOSTIMULATING CYTOKINE

摘要

It is intended to provide a method of treating tumor which involves the step of administering a minus-strand RNA virus vector encoding an immunostimulating cytokine or a cell having the vector transferred thereinto to a tumor site. It is also intended to provide a composition for treating tumor which contains, as the active ingredient, a minus-strand RNA virus vector encoding an immunostimulating cytokine or a cell having the vector transferred thereinto. It is also intended to provide a kit for treating tumor which contains a minus-strand RNA virus vector encoding an immunostimulating cytokine and a tumor antigen or a vector expressing the antigen.
