    Abstract: The present invention is directed towards an artificial RNA nanostructure comprising multiple external strands of RNA, each external strand comprising about 40-50 nucleotides; one internal strand of RNA comprising more than about 50 nucleotides; the internal strands and external strands assembled to form a triangle nanostructure, a square nanostructure, or a polygon nanostructure and a pRNA three-way junction (3WJ) motif at each vertex of the nanostructure. Such nanostructure can be provided in a composition together with an adjuvant for use in inducing the production of high affinity neutralizing antibodies or inhibitory antibodies, inducing the production of cytokines, inducing an immune response in a subject, or a combination thereof.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) comprising a nanoparticle core and an oligonucleotide shell attached to the external surface of the nanoparticle core, wherein the oligonucleotide shell comprises a mixture of class A CpG oligonucleotides and class B CpG oligonucleotides. The disclosure also provides methods of using the SNAs for, e.g., regulation of an immune response and gene regulation.
