Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of cancer therapy, so-called oncolytic immunotherapy, using oncolytic viruses loaded with immune-inducing genes. Background technique
[0002] Oncolytic immunotherapy is an immunotherapy that loads an immune-inducing gene into an oncolytic virus, which is a genetically recombinant virus that specifically proliferates in cancer cells and exhibits a killing effect. , which is expected to be the most powerful candidate for innovative cancer treatment drugs in the world (Non-Patent Document 1-Non-Patent Document 3), at the end of 2015, Europe and the United States approved the T-Vec gene loaded with cytokine genes (Amgen's T-Vec ) medicines as First-in-class (epoch-making medicines).
[0003] In the early 1990s of gene therapy, the inventors of the present invention were the first in the world to develop immune gene therapy by introducing immune genes using non-proliferative viral vectors (Non-Patent Documents 4 ...
