Intradermal and oral immunization with recombinant Mycobacterium bovis BCG expressing the simian immunodeficiency virus Gag protein induces long-lasting, antigen-specific immune responses in guinea pigs

To develop a new recombinant BCG (rBCG) vaccine, we constructed rBCG that expresses the full-length Gag protein of simian immunodeficiency virus (rBCG-SIVGag) at a level of 0.5 ng/mg after 3 weeks of bacterial cell culture. Intradermal (i.d.) inoculation of guinea pigs with 0.1 mg of rBCG-SIVGag res...
