The invention provides an in vivo individualized systemic immunotherapeutic method and device. The method includes, in a non-sequential manner: (1) increasing release amount of tumor antigens at a tumor site; (2) at the tumor site, increasing level of proteins capable of adhering to and/or wrapping the tumor antigens; (3) at the tumor site, increasing level of dedicated antigen-presenting cells involved in immunity, and establishing, between the dedicated antigen-presenting cells and immune effector cells, a close connection capable of activating the immune effector cells; and (4) at the tumor site, increasing level and improving function of the immune effector cells. The steps (1)-(4) each reaches a maximum value at a respective time which overlaps with each other maximally, as well as at a respective site which overlaps with each other maximally. The invention combines oncolytic therapy and immunotherapy, in individualized systemic immunotherapy, and provides significantly improved therapeutic effect.

The present invention relates to a recombinant plasma membrane-based vesicle, and more specifically to a recombinant plasma membrane-based vesicle comprising a VSV-G mutated protein in which histidine, the 162.sup.nd amino acid, has been substituted with arginine, and a pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer comprising the recombinant plasma membrane-based vesicle.

The present disclosure provides a miRNA hairpin that, when processed by a virus-infected cell, increases the therapeutic effectiveness of the virus. The present disclosure also provides a virus encoding such a miRNA hairpin. The present disclosure also provides pre-miRNAs that, when processed by a virus-infected cell, increase extracellular vesicle secretion of the encoded miRNA hairpin by the virus-infected cell.

The present invention relates to recombinant oncolytic viruses comprising a vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), wherein the glycoprotein (G protein) of VSV is deleted; and which comprises a modified fusion protein (F protein) of Newcastle disease virus (NDV); and the hemagglutinin neuraminidase (HN) protein of NDV. The present invention further relates to nucleic acids encoding for the recombinant oncolytic virus and vectors comprising the nucleic acids. The present invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the rVSV of the invention, the nucleic acid or the vector, further to uses as gene delivery tool and/or for tumor detection. The present invention further relates to the recombinant oncolytic vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) for use in medicine, in particular for the diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of cancer.
