ABOUT
CpG ODN, type B (human) - TLR9-based vaccine adjuvant
ODN 2006 VacciGrade™ is a preclinical formulation of ODN 2006 (also known as Agatolimod, ODN 7909 and PF-3512676), a Class B CpG oligonucleotide (ODN) with a preference for human Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9). ODN 2006 is a short synthetic single-stranded DNA molecule containing unmethylated CpG dinucleotides (CpG motifs). These unmethylated CpG motifs mimic microbial DNA and act as immunostimulants via TLR9.
Class B (Type K) CpG ODNs, such as ODN 2006, contain a full phosphorothioate backbone with one or more CpG dinucleotides. They strongly activate B cells but weakly stimulate IFN-α secretion in plasmacytoid dendritic cells [1]. Moreover, they generate Th1-dominant immune responses and thus, are potential adjuvants for human vaccines to elicit protective Th1 immunity [2].
ODN 2006 has been tested as an adjuvant in numerous animal models [3-5]. Research has demonstrated that ODN 2006 is an effective adjuvant for stimulating antibody [8-9] and interferon-mediated cellular immune responses [5].
InvivoGen's ODN 2006 is a strong TLR9 agonist verified using our HEK-Blue™ TLR9 reporter cell lines expressing human or mouse TLR9 (see figure). ODN 2006 activates the hTLR9-dependent NF-κB and IRF pathways, as assessed using our THP1-Dual™ hTLR9 reporter cell line expressing two reporter genes, fo the NF-κB-inducible SEAP and IRF-inducible Lucia luciferase, as well as hTLR9 (see figure).
A standard grade ODN 2006 for in vitro assays is also available.

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].
