摘要:
The invention relates to a class of CpG immunostimulatory oligonucleotides containing a 5′TCG motif or a CG at or near the 5′ end that are useful for stimulating an immune response.
摘要:
The invention relates to methods and products for the treatment of viral infection using a combination of anti-viral agents and TLR ligands. The invention also relates to screening assays, associated products, kits, and in vitro methods.
摘要:
The invention relates to immunostimulatory RNA oligonucleotides (ORN). In particular the ORN have an immunostimulatory ORN motif directly or indirectly flanked by a 3′ poly G motif and optionally a 5′ poly-G motif. The invention also relates to methods including therapeutic methods and screening methods and related kits for use of the ORN.
摘要:
Novel oligonucleotides having immune inhibitory effects, and methods for their use, are provided. The inhibitory oligonucleotides include those that specifically inhibit certain Toll-like receptors, including TLR7, TLR8, and TLR9. Certain of the immunoinhibitory oligonucleotides inhibit a combination of TLRs selected from TLR7, TLR8, and TLR9. Inhibitors of TLR9 are characterized by a 5′ CC dinucleotide appropriately spaced upstream of a G-rich oligomer. Inhibitors of TLR8 include specific simple dinucleotides and oligonucleotides ending at their 3′ termini with the specific dinucleotides. TLR7 inhibitors include oligonucleotides having a phosphorothioate backbone. Also provided are combinations and conjugates involving the inhibitory oligonucleotides of the invention and other agents, where the other agents include TLR agonists and antigens. Compositions of the invention can be used to shape an immune response, reduce unwanted specific TLR-mediated immunostimulation, and to treat conditions including allergy, asthma, infection, and cancer.
摘要:
The invention relates to specific C-Class semi-soft CpG immunostimulatory oligonucleotides that are useful for stimulating an immune response. In particular the oligonucleotides are useful for treating allergy, such as allergic rhinitis and asthma, cancer and infectious disease, such as hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
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:
Immunostimulatory polymers that contain certain sequence-dependent immunostimulatory RNA motifs and methods for the use of such immunostimulatory polymers and compositions containing such polymers are provided according to the invention. The sequence-dependent immunostimulatory RNA motifs and the polymers incorporating such motifs are potent and selective inducers of TLR7 and the TLR7-associated cytokine IFN-α.
