摘要:
The invention refers to a recombinant oncolytic RNA Newcastle Disease Virus for the treatment of a proliferative disease, comprising at least one transgene coding for an avian cytokine, wherein the recombinant oncolytic RNA Newcastle Disease Virus is obtainable from a velogenic or mesogenic oncolytic RNA Newcastle Disease Virus. Virus-mediated expression of the cytokine in the natural host cells leads to a reduced pathogenicity of the virus for avian species. Furthermore the virus genome can encode binding proteins, prodrug-converting enzymes or/and proteases. The selective expression of these molecules in virus-infected tumor cells increases the anti-tumor effect of the virus.
摘要:
The goal of the invention is to increase the therapeutical activity of oncolytic NDV. This issue is solved by a Newcastle Disease Virus comprising a recombinant nucleic acid, wherein the nucleic acid codes for a binding protein that has a therapeutic activity when expressed by the virus-infected tumor cell. Binding proteins belong to the following group: A natural ligand or a genetically modified ligand, a recombinant soluble domain of a natural receptor or a modified version of it, a peptide-ligand, an antibody molecule and derivatives thereof or antibody-like molecules like ankyrin repeat molecules or derivatives thereof.
