Abstract
The present invention provides a recombinant influenza virus vector comprising an NS gene encoding a truncated NS1 protein of at least 73 and up to 122 amino acids of the N-terminus of the respective wild type NS1 protein, wherein the vector replicates in IFN-sensitive tumor cells and does not replicate in normal, non-tumor cells, and expresses a heterologous immunostimulatory polypetide. The invention further provides a pharmaceutical composition containing the influenza virus vector, its use for the treatment of cancer patients and methods for producing the influenza virus vaccine.
