Abstract: The present invention provides cell fusogenic vectors having
replicative ability, whose protease-dependent tropism has been
modified. M gene-deficient viral vectors encoding modified F
proteins, in which the cleavage site of the F protein of paramyxovirus
is modified to be cleaved by different proteases, were produced. In
cells transfected with these vectors, the genomic RNA present in the
vectors is replicated, and cell fusogenic infection spreads to
neighboring cells depending on the presence of other proteases;
however, no viral particles are released. The vectors of this
invention, encoding the F proteins which are cleaved by proteases
whose activity is enhanced in cancer, show cancer growth suppressive
effect  in vivo .

Abstract: After a step of fabricating a MOS transistor (14)
on a semiconductor substrate (11) and further steps
up to bury a W plug (24), an Ir film (25a), an IrO y 
film (25b), a PZT film (26), and an IrO x  film (27) are
formed sequentially over the entire surface. The
composition of the PZT film (26) is such that the
content of Pb exceeds that of Zr and that of Ti.
After processing the Ir film (25a), the IrOy film
(25b), the PZT film (26) and the IrO x  film (27),
annealing is effected to remedy the damage to the PZT
film (26) that is caused when the IrO x  film (27) is
formed and to diffuse Ir in the IrO x  film (27) into
the PZT film (26). As a result, the Ir diffused into
the PZT film (26) concentrates at an interface
between the IrO x  film (27) and the PZT film (26) and
at grain boundaries in the PZT film (26), and the Ir
concentrations at the interface and boundaries are
higher than those in the grains.
