摘要
In this manuscript, we will review the utilization of Mycobacterium bovis Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) as a vaccine against tuberculosis (TB) and as a carrier system for heterologous antigens. BCG is one of the most widely used vaccines. Novel techniques in genome manipulation allow the construction of virulence-attenuated recombinant (r)-BCG strains that can be employed as homologous vaccines, or as heterologous antigen delivery systems, for priming pathogen-specific immunity against infectious diseases, including TB. Several approaches are available for heterologous antigen expression and compartmentalization in BCG and recent findings show the potential to modulate and direct the immune responses induced by r-BCG strains as desired. Recent achievements in complete genome analysis of various target pathogens, combined with a better understanding of protective pathogen-specific immune responses, form the basis for the rational design of a new generation of recombinant mycobacterial vaccines against a multitude of infectious diseases.
