Abstract: A recombinant Mycobacterium strain co-expressing MIF and IL-7, and a composition containing the strain as an active ingredient are disclosed. The strain and the composition are suitable for preventing or treating cancer. The strain induces a maximized anticancer immune response by stably expressing MIF and IL-7 through a mycobacteria-derived replicable plasmid, such as a pMyong2 shuttle vector. Accordingly, the strain and the composition may be usefully used as an efficient anticancer live vaccine composition that induces multiple cellular and humoral immune responses through single administration of the recombinant strain.

Abstract: An aspect provides a vaccine composition for preventing tuberculosis comprising chorismate mutase. The vaccine composition alone may induce immunity specific to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and when provided together with an immune adjuvant, the vaccine composition may induce immunity specific to tuberculosis more effectively. Furthermore, when an existing vaccine for tuberculosis is used as a prime and the vaccine composition according to an aspect including chorismite mutase is provided as a booster, the immunity specific to tuberculosis may be induced significantly more effectively.
