Filed:

Mar 21, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/216086

Inventors:

Stanley Falkow - Portola Valley CA
Ralph Isberg - Brookline MA
Virginia Miller - Van Nuys CA
Joseph W. St. Geme - Redwood City CA
Catherine A. Lee - Newton MA

Assignee:

International Classification:

A61K 39112
A61K 39116
C12N 120
C12N 121

US Classification:

4242001

Abstract:

Novel methods and microorganisms are provided, where novel genetic mammalian cell invasive capability is imparted to a microorganism by the introduction of an exogenous ail or hil gene. The resulting organisms are then capable of binding to mammalian cells and are transferred to the cytoplasm. Other novel genetic capabilities may be imparted to the unicellular microorganism, which may serve as a vaccine for one or more pathogens or may introduce genetic capabilities or foreign molecules into a mammalian host cell. The sequences may be used for an in vitro screen for pathogenicity. Mutant microorganisms having an attenuated invasive phenotype are also disclosed wherein one or more invasive genes have been modified.

International Classification:

C12N 1531
C12N 121
C12Q 168

US Classification:

536 237

Abstract:

Nucleic acids encoding all or part of a Yersinia ail gene are provided. The nucleic acid comprises at least 50 base pairs of a Yersinia ail gene in isolated form or consists or a fragment consisting essentially of at least 50 base pairs but not more than 50 kilo base pairs of a Yersinia ail gene. Such nucleic acids can also be operably linked to transcriptional and translational initiation and termination sequences which are functional in a microorganism host.
