An objective of the present invention is to provide an improved negative-strand RNA viral vector and a use thereof, the negative-strand RNA viral vector exhibiting transient high expression of genes loaded in the vector and enabling the rapid removal of the vector after said expression. It was discovered that by adding a micro-RNA target sequence to the NP, P, or L gene of a negative-strand RNA viral vector, it is possible to control the expression of the vector depending on the micro-RNA expressed by the introduction cell. In particular, when a micro-RNA target sequence was added to the NP or P gene, the expression of the vector decreased depending on the micro-RNA, and the removal of the vector was promoted, while the effect was reversed when a micro-RNA target sequence was added to the L gene. The vector can be applied in cell therapy and regenerative medicine and can be used as a therapeutic vector that targets cancer.

The present invention provides donor polynucleotides formed by linking the two ends of a genomic fragment containing a cleavable site by a polynucleotide carrying a positive selection marker gene and a negative selection marker gene. Use of the donor polynucleotide makes it possible to modify only a target gene with avoiding the possibility of introducing mutations to sequences, called 'off-target', which are other than the target sequence, by introducing cleavage in a homologous site of the donor polynucleotide without introducing cleavage in a target gene locus.

In this invention, a non-infectious particle has been produced, comprising a pathogen antigen protein caused to be expressed on the surface of a virus particle having at least one species of paramyxovirus envelope protein missing from the particle. This particle has been found to hold within the particle a large amount of antigen protein compared to an infectious particle, and to be capable of eliciting a host immune response with extremely high efficiency. The non-infectious particle according to the present invention is useful as a vaccine against a pathogenic virus, or the like.

By allowing the movement of a user to affect the playback of content, the entertainment characteristic or uplifting spirits derived from content playback itself can be enhanced. The timing at which the user places his/her foot on the ground while walking or the timing at which the user shakes or changes from swinging in one direction to swinging to another direction is detected. Then, content, such as a music piece or moving pictures, is played back by allowing the timing of beats or bars of the music piece or the timing of scene changes or cut changes of the moving pictures to be synchronized with the timing of the movement of the user.

Content playback method and content playback apparatus
