Zusammenfassung:The present invention is based on a novel concept for finding the optimum expression level of a therapeutic gene for inducing the largest therapeutic effect without any adverse reaction. An object of the present invention is to develop an immuno-viral therapeutic vector exerting the optimal therapeutic effect while ensuring high safety. The present invention provides, for example, an oncolytic virus comprising an immunity-inducing gene operably linked to the downstream of E2F promoter or a promoter having an activity equivalent thereto, wherein at least one promoter for nucleic acids encoding an element essential for viral replication or assembly is replaced with a promoter for an organ specific highly expressed factor or with a promoter for a cancer cell specific highly expressed factor.
