GENE THERAPY VECTOR SYSTEM AND PRODRUG GENES
The present invention relates to a replication retrovirus vector system comprising thymidine kinase (HSV-TK) gene and cytosine deaminase (CD) gene which make gene transfer to cancer cell tissue for the efficient treatment of cancer. Particularly, the HSV-TK/CD combined self-replicating retrovirus vector system of the present invention characteristically contains both HSV-TK and CD genes; has no worries about losing a therapeutic gene because recombination does not occur in this system during virus infection; and has an excellent stability, and also is able to induce cancer cell death by using the prodrug GCV or 5-FC and can apply a therapeutic gene or a prodrug thereof selectively to such cancer that shows resistance against cancer treatment using either TK or CD, so that this system of the invention can be advantageously used as a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of cancer.
RECOMBINANT NEWCASTLE DISEASE VIRUS (rNDV) VECTORS AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME
Disclosed are recombinant Newcastle disease virus (rNDV) vectors, related polynucleotides, and methods for eliciting an immune response against avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) or vaccinating against IBV.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THERAPEUTIC OR VACCINE DELIVERY
Described herein are compositions for delivering a therapeutic or vaccine. Also described herein are methods for using the compositions described herein for delivering a therapeutic or a vaccine.
