ODN 1668 - TLR9 ligand

Class B CpG oligonucleotide - Murine TLR9 ligand

CpG ODNs are  synthetic oligonucleotides that contain unmethylated CpG dinucleotides  in particular sequence contexts (CpG motifs).

These CpG motifs are  present at a 20-fold greater frequency in bacterial DNA compared to  mammalian DNA.

CpG ODNs are recognized by Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9)  leading to strong immunostimulatory effects.

ODN 1668 is a B-class CpG ODN specific for mouse TLR9.

Description

CpG ODNs are synthetic oligonucleotides that contain unmethylated CpG dinucleotides in particular sequence contexts (CpG motifs) [1]. These CpG motifs are present at a 20-fold greater frequency in bacterial DNA compared to mammalian DNA.

CpG ODNs are recognized by Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) leading to strong immunostimulatory effects [2].

Three types of stimulatory CpG ODNs have been identified, types A, B and C, which differ in their immune-stimulatory activities [3-4]. Type A CpG ODNs are characterized by a phosphodiester central CpG-containing palindromic motif and a phosphorothioate 3’ poly-G string. They induce high IFN-α production from plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) but are weak stimulators of TLR9-dependent NF-κB signaling. Type B CpG ODNs contain a full phosphorothioate backbone with one or more CpG dinucleotides. They strongly activate B cells but stimulate weakly IFN-α secretion. Type C CpG ODNs combine features of both types A and B. They contain a complete phosphorothioate backbone and a CpG-containing palindromic motif. Type C CpG ODNs induce strong IFN-α production from pDC and B cell stimulation.

ODN 1668 is a CpG ODN type B specific for mouse TLR9 [5].
