Title:
VIRUS VECTOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2000/050618
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
There have been required a virus vector useful in treating and diagnosing tumors such as malignant melanoma having resistance against the conventional therapy and being troublesome in prognosis as well as diagnostic and therapeutic methods for tumors by using such a virus vector. A virus vector constructed by fusing a protein constituting a virus with a ligand binding specifically to melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) receptor and diagnostics and remedies for tumors with the use of this virus vector.
