    摘要: The present invention shows that DNA vaccine vectors can be improved by removal of CpG-N motifs and optional addition of CpG-S motifs. In addition, for high and long-lasting levels of expression, the optimized vector should include a promoter/enhancer that is not down-regulated by the cytokines induced by the immunostimulatory CpG motifs. Vectors and methods of use for immununostimulation are provided herein. The invention also provides improved gene therapy vectors by determining the CpG-N and CpG-S motifs present in the construct, removing stimulatory CpG (CpG-S) motifs and/or inserting neutralizing CpG (CpG-N) motifs, thereby producing a nucleic acid construct providing enhanced expression of the therapeutic polypeptide. Methods of use for such vectors are also included herein.

    摘要: The present invention is based on the finding that nucleic acids containing at least one unmethylated cytosine-guanine (CpG) dinucleotide affect immune responses in a subject. These nucleic acids containing at least one unmethylated cytosine-guanine (CpG) dinucleotide can be used to treat pulmonary disorders having an immunologic component, such as a response to inhaled lipopolysaccharide. The invention provides methods of treating subjects who have or are at risk of having these pulmonary disorders, and methods of altering the immunological components of the pulmonary disorders. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions for treating pulmonary disorders that have an immunologic component.

    摘要: Immunostimulatory oligonucleotides, which contain a CpG immunostimulatory motif and a second motif that is capable of forming secondary structure, including duplex and higher order structures in vitro and in vivo, are disclosed. They include nucleic acids, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, having base sequences that include 5′ TCGTCGTTTTCGGCGCGCGCCGT 3′ (SEQ ID NO: 1), in which each C is unmethylated and 3′ refers to the 3′ end of the nucleic acid. The oligonucleotides activate B cells and NK cells and induce expression of type I interferon and interferon-γ. The oligonucleotides are useful for treating a variety of disorders and conditions, including allergy, asthma, infection, and cancer. In addition to their use as single agents and as combination therapies, the disclosed oligonucleotides are useful as adjuvants in vaccines.

    摘要: Oligonucleotides containing unthylated CpG dinucleotides and therapeutic utilities based on their ability to stimulate an immune response in a subject are disclosed. Also disclosed are therapies for treating diseases associated with immune system activation that are initiated by unthylated CpG dinucleotides in a subject comprising administering to the subject oligonucleotides that do not contain unmethylated CpG sequences (i.e. methylated CpG sequences or no CpG sequence) to outcompete unmethylated CpG nucleic acids for binding. Further disclosed are methylated CpG containing dinucleotides for use antisense therapies or as in vivo hybridization probes, and immunoinhibitory oligonucleotides for use as antiviral therapeutics.
