Abstract
The invention pertains to a method for introducing RNA molecules into eukaryotic cells, wherein the RNA molecules are capable of being translated in the eukaryotic cells or is an antisense RNA or a catalytic RNA, as well as to such bacteria, compositions comprising such bacteria, and nucleic acids which can be introduced into bacteria for practicing the method of the invention. Examples of products the RNA molecule may encode include vaccine antigens, therapeutic agents, immunoregulatory agents or anti-sense RNA molecules or catalytic RNA molecules.
