It is an object of the present invention to provide a medicament or a pharmaceutical composition, which is effective for the treatment of various cancers.

More specifically, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for use in the treatment of cancers, which comprises rMV-SLAM-blind or rMV-V(−)-SLAM-blind. The pharmaceutical composition has the effect of causing the regression of tumor, even if it is intravenously administered, and it also exhibits effects on cancer metastasized from a primary lesion.

A method is presented for treating herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection comprising: (a) locally administering a substance that induces a delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) response to a patient at a site of an HSV lesion to induce a DTH response at the site of the lesion during one or more outbreaks of the HSV infection.

A vaccination method is provided. The method comprises administering to a mammal a histone deacytelase inhibitor in conjunction with a vaccine that expresses an antigen to which the mammal has a pre-existing immunity.

A virus vector contains a genome that is derived from a virus belonging to the family Paramyxoviridae, and has a gene encoding a modified H protein, a gene encoding a modified F protein, and foreign genes. The genome may be segmented into multiple segments, and each genome segment may have a leader sequence and a trailer sequence.

A minimal antigen delivery system consists essentially of PEGylated stealth liposomes loaded with an immunogenic human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class restricted peptide and surface modified with a cell targeting peptide which mediates binding and internalization of the liposomes into a target cell.
