Abstract

Use of a viral vector contg. in its genome a DNA fragment (I) contg. ≥ 1 gene encoding all or part of an agent (A) that modulates the immune and/or inflammatory response for the treatment of cancer in mammals is new. (A) can be a cell surface co-stimulatory molecule, a chemokine, a monoclonal antibody against a lymphocyte surface maker, a super antigen characteristic of an infectious organism (bacterium, virus or parasite), a polypeptide with adjuvant activity or esp. a cytokine. Also claimed is the use of a viral vector with positive tropism for cancer cells contg. in its genome a DNA fragment including ≥ 1 gene, encoding an agent able to destroy cancer cells, under control of appropriate expression elements, for selective delivery of the agent to cancerous tumours.
