CpG ODN, type B (murine) - TLR9-based adjuvant

CpG ODN 1826 is a synthetic immunostimulatory oligonucleotide (ODN) that contains unmethylated CpG dinucleotides.

ODN 1826 is a class B CpG ODN specific for mouse Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9). It strongly activates B cells, weakly stimulates IFN-α secretion in pDCs and generates Th1-dominant immune responses.

ODN 1826 VacciGrade™ is prepared under strict aseptic conditions. It is guaranteed sterile and has been thoroughly tested to confirm the absence of endotoxins. ODN 1826 VacciGrade™ is suitable for preclinical studies.

ODN 1826 VacciGrade™ is for research use only; it is not for use in humans.

Details

Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides containing unmethylated CpG motifs (CpG ODNs), such as ODN 1826, have been extensively studied as adjuvants [1].

These CpG motifs are present at a 20-fold greater frequency in bacterial DNA compared to mammalian DNA [2].

CpG ODNs are recognized by TLR9, which is expressed exclusively on human B cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), thereby inducing Th1-dominated immune responses  [3].

Pre-clinical studies, conducted in rodents and non-human primates, and human clinical trials have demonstrated that CpG ODNs can significantly improve vaccine-specific antibody responses  [1].

Three types of stimulatory CpG ODNs have been identified, types A, B and C, which differ in their immune-stimulatory activities  [4-5]. Furthermore, CpG ODNs activate TLR9 in a species-specific manner  [6].

ODN 1826 is a type B CpG ODN specific for mouse TLR9. Type B CpG ODNs contain a full phosphorothioate backbone with one or more CpG dinucleotides and can strongly activate B cells  [4].

ODN 1826 has been tested as an adjuvant in numerous animal models  [7-9].

Research in mice demonstrated that ODN 1826 administration can induce the activation of antigen presenting cells8 and type I IFN anti-viral activity [8-9], indicative of a Th1 immune response.
