摘要:A method of stimulating an immune response in a human or animal subject, which method comprises administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of an attenuated herpes virus which: (i) lacks a functional vhs gene, or a functional equivalent thereof; (ii) lacks a functional ICP47 gene, or a functional equivalent thereof; and (iii) is incapable of expressing a substantial amount of functional ICP22, or a functional equivalent thereof, in mammalian dendritic cells.
