Abstract
A method of protecting a subject against a disease comprises administering a recombinant Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis (VEE) virus to the subject in an effective immunogenic amount, with the VEE virus containing a heterologous DNA segment, and with the heterologous DNA segment comprising a promoter operable in the subject operatively associated with a DNA encoding an immunogenic protein or peptide effective for protecting the subject from the disease. Preferred promoters are VEE 26S subgenomic promoters, and preferred immunogens are viral immunogens. Novel attenuating mutations useful in carrying out the invention are also disclosed.
