Abstract

Composition designed to treat human or animal organisms comprising cells expressing genes enabling them to secrete in vivo one or more biologically-active substances, said cells exhibiting genetic characteristics preventing them from growing durably in the treated organism, and making them susceptible to elimination artificially or naturally from the organism. These compositions can be used in particular in the treatment of tumors or cancers, in which case the substances used are interleukins. The cells contained in these compositions are at least partially allogenic or xenogenic.
