Title:
INHIBITION OF SELECTED TUMOR GROWTH WITH RECOMBINANT VIRAL SECTOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1994021792
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for inhibiting the growth of selected tumors utilizing recombinant viral vectors. Briefly, within one aspect of the present invention, a method for inhibiting the growth of a selected tumor is provided comprising the step of directly administering to a warm-blooded animal a vector construct which directs the expression of at least one anti-tumor agent, such that the growth of said tumor is inhibited. Representative examples of anti-tumor agents include immune activators and tumor proliferation inhibitors.
