Abstract: A print control data generating apparatus generates first print control data and outputs the generated first print control data. The first print control data includes print control data capable of controlling an output of a print job, and includes a term of validity for the print control data. The print control data generating apparatus determines whether the term of validity for the first print control data is unexpired. The print control data generating apparatus generates second print control data based on the first print control data, when the term of validity for the first print control data has expired and if a reissue of the first print control data is requested, and outputs the generated second print control data.

Abstract: The present invention aims at developing a gene delivery system which has a high selectivity to a target cell and can introduce and express a gene with high efficiency, particularly developing such a system for use in a gene delivery therapy using a viral vector. The present invention provides a method for targeting a drug, which comprises the step of delivering a drug containing a therapeutic gene to a target site using an anti-PAP2a antibody.
