Title:
REPLICATION COMPETENT VIRUSES CAPABLE OF SILENCING VIRUS INHIBITORY FACTOR EXPRESSION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005100576
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Described is a replication competent virus, being capable to replicate and having lytic capacity in tarjet cells, the virus comprising in the genome thereof, at least one DNA sequence coding for a silencing factor functional in reducing expression of a target gene in the said target cells, operably linked to one or more expression control sequences, funcional in the said target cells, and the use thereof in the preparation of a medicament and to the use thereof in a method for lysing target cells expressing a virus inhibitory factor.
