Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods of preventing or treating diseases or disorders caused by biological agents or chemical agents in a subject (e.g., a mammal, such as a human) by administering genetically modified human umbilical cord perivascular cells.SOLUTION: The present invention provides a method for protecting the subject against challenge from the biological or chemical agents, wherein the method comprises administering a human umbilical cord perivascular cell (HUCPVC) that has been genetically modified to increase the expression of an oligonucleotide or a polypeptide in the HUCPVC relative to a HUCPVC that has not been genetically modified, and the HUCPVC protects the subject from the biological or chemical agents. 【課題】遺伝子改変されたヒト臍帯血管周囲細胞を投与することによって、対象(例えば、ヒトなどの哺乳動物)中で生物学的作用物質又は化学的作用物質によって引き起こされる疾患又は障害を予防又は治療する方法の提供。【解決手段】生物学的又は化学的作用物質からの攻撃に対して対象を保護するための方法であって、遺伝子改変されていないヒト臍帯血管周囲細胞(HUCPVC)と比較して該HUCPVC中でのオリゴヌクレオチド又はポリペプチドの発現が増大するように遺伝子改変されたHUCPVCを対象に投与することを含み、該HUCPVCが前記生物学的又は化学的作用物質から該対象を保護する方法。【選択図】なし
