[Study on recombinant BCG].

Kekkaku : [Tuberculosis], 1991
For the purpose to establish the system to express foreign antigen from Mycobacterium bovis BCG. We have cloned, sequenced and expressed genes for secreting proteins, alpha antigen, MPB64, MPB57 and MPB70 from M. bovis BCG. The upstreams and structural genes were characterized. The gene for alpha antigen of Mycobacterium kansasii was also characterized.

Recombinant BCG therapy suppresses melanoma tumor growth

Annals of Surgical Oncology, 1995
Melanoma is the fastest rising cancer in the United States. Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) has been genetically engineered to actively express and secrete the cytokine interleukin-2 (IL-2). Both BCG and IL-2 have known potent antitumor and immunomodulatory properties.This recombinant BCG (rBCG 3A) has been tested as an intratumoral injection and a ...

Gene replacement by homologous recombination in Mycobacterium bovis BCG

Molecular Microbiology, 1995
SummaryGene replacement by homologous recombination is a powerful tool for fundamental studies of gene function, as well as allowing specific attenuation of pathogens, but has proved difficult to achieve for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We have used a plasmid‐based test system to demonstrate the occurrence of homologous recombination in the tuberculosis

The secretome of a recombinant BCG substrain reveals differences in hypothetical proteins

Vaccine, 2010
Tuberculosis remains a major human health problem worldwide, and strategies for its prevention include the generation and characterization of new recombinant vaccines containing immunodominant antigens from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. By comparing the secretomes of wild-type Mycobacterium bovis and a PstS1-recombinant M.

Recombinant BCG as an antigen delivery system.

Cellular and molecular biology (Noisy-le-Grand, France), 1994
BCG, an attenuated vaccine strain of Mycobacterium bovis, has been engineered for use as an antigen delivery vehicle. Various genetic and molecular biological techniques were recently developed for use in the manipulation of mycobacteria. Vectors for the expression of foreign antigens in BCG have been constructed and used to express genes from bacteria,

Efficacy and safety of live recombinant BCG vaccines.

Developments in biological standardization, 1995
BCG has a long history of safe use in humans and is one of the best adjuvants known. The use of newer production methods may further reduce the risk of adverse side-effects. Early results with experimental animals have shown BCG to be an effective live recombinant delivery vehicle for several foreign vaccine antigens.
