Abstract

See full text

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.
