ABSTRACT:
A recombinant plasmid comprises the cyaC and the cyaA genes of Bordetella which directs the expression of Bordetella, adenylate cyclase in a transformed host cell. A recombinant DNA molecule can comprise the Bordetella cyaA gene containing at least one insertion of a heterologous DNA sequence at at least one permissive site. In addition, a recombinant Bordetella adenylate cyclase comprises a heterologous epitope at a permissive site. Methods of inducing a specific B cell, helper T cell, and CTL cell immune response are provided.
