Abstract: The present invention provides a method for evaluating effectiveness of a cell therapeutic agent. When using TGF-? and/or TSP-1 expression level(s) in: (a) a first population of transformed mammalian cells with TGF-?; and (b) a second population of untransformed mammalian cells with the same gene, respectively, as a criterion for determining effectiveness of a cell therapeutic agent, and whether or not expression thereof, it is possible to definitely determine the therapeutic efficacy of each cell therapeutic agent prior to initiation of the treatment. In addition, since use of a cell therapeutic agent without therapeutic effects is avoided, undesired procedures and side effects may not be entailed.

Abstract: A composition useful for alleviating or treating pain and uses thereof are disclosed. The composition containing glutamate decarboxylase and a gene coding for an anti-inflammatory cytokine. A method for alleviating or treating pain of a subject includes administering the composition to the subject.

Abstract: A recombinant vaccinia virus containing a gene encoding sPD-1 or hyaluronidase and a pharmaceutical composition including the same are disclosed. The recombinant vaccinia virus containing a cancer therapy gene and having suppressed expression of K3L, TK, or VGF gene of the vaccinia virus has an excellent anti-tumor effect. Therefore, the recombinant vaccinia virus of the present invention can be advantageously used in cancer treatment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a recombinant vaccinia virus in which the expression of some genes is inhibited, and a use thereof. The recombinant vaccinia virus of the present invention selectively kills cancer cells, and has an excellent reproducibility in cancer cells. Also, the virus has a lower toxicity to normal cells, and thus has an advantage of being safe for a human body. Therefore, the recombinant vaccinia virus of the present invention can be effectively used as a composition for treating cancer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to: a composition for alleviating or treating pain, the composition comprising glutamate decarboxylase and a gene coding for an anti-inflammatory cytokine; and a method for alleviating or treating pain by using the composition.

Abstract: Provided is a cell therapeutic agent for treating an inflammatory disease induced by a hyperimmune response, more specifically, a composition for treating an inflammatory disease induced by a hyperimmune response, which comprises (i) a chondrocyte or a cell capable of differentiating into a chondrocyte; and (ii) a cell into which a gene encoding TGF-? is introduced, wherein the cell in (ii) is derived from human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK-293) cell.

Abstract: The present invention provides a poxvirus-derived promoter, a vector comprising the same, a method for expressing a transgene using the promoter, and use of the vector in the prevention or treatment of a disease. A promoter according to the present invention can be used for induction of strong expression of a transgene.

Abstract: A method for delivery of a therapeutic agent to a nervous tissue. In particular, a method of delivering a therapeutic agent to a nervous tissue protected by the brain-blood barrier or meninges is disclosed. The method for delivery allows delivery of a therapeutic agent to a nervous tissue with high efficiency. In addition, the delivery method of a therapeutic agent to a nervous tissue is safe since it has lower side effects such as nervous damage than a method of administering a therapeutic agent directly to a nervous tissue.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for alleviating or treating pain. A pharmaceutical composition of the present invention contains two or more selected from the group consisting of GAD, IL-10, and a gene encoding GDNF. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention exhibits an excellent analgesic effect at a dosage lower than that of individual administration since genes are coadministered, and thus conventional side effects and toxicity can be reduced. Therefore, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be useful in alleviating or treating pain.
