ABOUT

CpG ODN, type A (mouse) - TLR9-based vaccine adjuvant

ODN 1585 VacciGrade™ is a Class A CpG oligonucleotide (ODN), activator of mouse Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) [1]. ODN 1585 is characterized by a central, phosphodiester, CpG-containing palindromic motif and phosphorothioate-modified poly-G sequences at the 3′ and 5′ ends. CpG motifs mimic microbial DNA and act as immunostimulants via TLR9 [2].

More details More details

ODN 1585 has been optimized to indirectly activate natural killer (NK) cells while it has little effect on cytokine secretion or B cell proliferation [1]. ODN 1585 successfully induces regression of established melanomas in mice due to NK lytic activity [1].

ODN 1585  activates mouse TLR9 in HEK-Blue™ mTLR9 reporter cells, . Interestingly, ODN 1585 can activate the human (h)TLR9-mediated NF-κB and IRF pathways in THP1-Dual™ hTLR9 reporter cell line. This monocytic cell line overexpresses the human TLR9 gene and features two reporter genes, an NF-κB-inducible SEAP and an IRF-inducible Lucia luciferase (see figures).

ODN 1585 VacciGrade™ is a high-quality pre-clinical grade, suitable for in vivo use.
A standard grade ODN 1585 for in vitro assays is also available.

VacciGrade™

VacciGrade™ is a high-quality pre-clinical grade, suitable for in vivo studies. VacciGrade™ products are filter-sterilized (0.2 µm) and filled under strict aseptic conditions in a clean room. The absence of  bacterial contamination is assessed by a sterility test using a pharmacopeia-derived assay.

Details

CpG ODNs

Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides containing unmethylated CpG motifs (CpG ODNs), such as ODN 1018, 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 the Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), which is expressed 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, as well as 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]. 

Toll-like receptor 9

The Toll-like Receptor 9 (TLR9) is an endosomal receptor that triggers NF-κB- and interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-mediated pro-inflammatory responses upon the recognition of unmethylated cytosine-phosphorothioate-guanosine (CpG) forms of DNA [6-8]. Unmethylated CpG dinucleotides are a hallmark of microbial (bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasite) DNA, as well as mitochondrial self-DNA [8,9]. These TLR9 agonists can be mimicked by synthetic oligonucleotides containing CpG motifs (CpG ODNs), which have been extensively studied to improve adaptive immune responses in the context of vaccination [6,8].

TLR9 is mainly expressed in subsets of Dendritic Cells and B cells of all mammals. In rodents, but not in humans, TLR9 is also expressed in monocytes and macrophages [8]. The structure of the receptor varies by 24% between human TLR9 (hTLR9) and mouse TLR9 (mTLR9) [8]. They recognize different CpG motifs, the optimal sequences being GTCGTT and GACGTT for hTLR9 and mTLR9, respectively [10].
