Abstract
The bacillus of Calmette and Guérin (BCG), long appreciated for its role as a live vaccine for the prevention of tuberculosis, is undergoing a rebirth as a recombinant delivery vehicle for foreign antigens and bioactive proteins. Recombinant BCG causes long-lived specific humoral and cellular immunity and may ultimately prove to be a powerful and cost-effective new weapon against both infectious pathogens and certain cancers.Entities:
