CA 2481318

The present invention relates to a strain of M. bovis BCG or M. microti, wherein said strain has integrated part or all of the RD1 region responsible for enhanced immunogenicity of the tubercle bacilli, especially the ESAT-6 and CFP-10 genes. These strains will be referred as the M bovis BCG::RDI orM.microti::RD1 strains and are useful as a new improved vaccine for preventing tuberculosis and as a therapeutical product enhancing the stimulation of the immune system for the treatment of bladder cancer. These strains are also useful for the expression and presentation of heterologous antigens and molecule that are of therapeutic or prophylactic interest.

La présente invention concerne une souche de M. bovis BCG ou de M. microti , ladite souche comportant une partie intégrée ou la totalité de la région RD1 responsable de l'immunogénicité accrue du bacille de la tuberculose, notamment les gènes ESAT-6 et CFP-10. Ces souches sont appelées M bovis BCG::RDI ou M.microti ::RD1 et sont utiles en tant que nouveau vaccin amélioré pour prévenir la tuberculose et en tant que produit thérapeutique améliorant la stimulation du système immunitaire pour le traitement du cancer de la vessie. Ces souches sont également utiles pour l'expression et la présentation d'antigènes hétérologues et de molécule qui présentent un intérêt thérapeutique et prophylactique.
