Abstract: Recombinant immunogenic compositions, and methods for the manufacture and use, are provided for the prevention and treatment of intracellular pathogen diseases in humans and animals. The recombinant immunogenic compositions express high levels of recombinant proteins in vectors that do not harbor an antibiotic resistance marker (“unmarked”).

Abstract: Immunogenic compositions comprising growth regulatable recombinant attenuated intracellular pathogens that have been transformed to express recombinant immunogenic antigens of the same or other intracellular pathogens are provided. Exemplary immunogenic compositions include, growth regulatable and growth limited recombinant attenuated intracellular pathogen immunogenic compositions.

Abstract: Immunogenic compositions comprising recombinant attenuated intracellular pathogens that have been transformed to express recombinant immunogenic antigens of the same or other intracellular pathogens are provided. Exemplary immunogenic compositions include, but are not limited to attenuated recombinant Mycobacteria expressing the major extracellular non-fusion proteins of Mycobacteria and/or other intracellular pathogens. Other embodiments are provided wherein the recombinant attenuated intracellular pathogen is auxotrophic.

Abstract: Immunogenic compostions for inducing immune responses in an animal host against intracellular pathogen diseases are provided. The immunogenic compostions consist of recombinant attenuated intracellular pathogens that have been transformed to express recombinant immunogenic antigens of the same or other intracellular pathogens. Exemplary immunogenic compostions include, but are not limited to, vaccines and immunotherapeutics such as attenuated recombinant Mycobacteria expressing the major extracellular non-fusion proteins of Mycobacteria and/or other intracellular pathogens. These exemplary vaccines are shown to produce surprisingly potent protective immune responses in mammals.
