CELL ELIMINATION BY USING VIRUSES Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61K35/76 A61K35/28 A61K39/17 A61P35/00 

FIELD: medicine, in particular uses of viruses for cell elimination.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to uses of viruses capable of reducing undesired cells in ex vivo mixtures of normal marrow or peripheral blood cells and tumor cells, such as leucosis or lymphoma cells due to interaction of abovementioned mixture with vesicular stomatitis virus. Invention also relates to method for malignant tumor treatment in mammalian. Claimed method includes sampling of mammalian marrow or peripheral blood cells; interaction of said cells ex vivo with vesicular stomatitis virus; mieloablative therapy; and transplantation of purified hematopoietic cells into mammalian. In another embodiment invention relates to method for malignant tumor treatment in mammalian having transplant of marrow or peripheral blood stem cells. Said method includes interaction ex vivo of collected transplant cell with vesicular stomatitis virus and administration of these purified cells in mammalian. Method of present invention makes it possible to reduce risk of malignant tumor backset in mammalian with transplanted hematopoietic cells.

EFFECT: new agent for elimination of marrow or peripheral blood tumor cells.
