CpG oligonucleotides (ODNs) are synthetic ODNs that contain unmethylated CpG dinucleotides in specific sequence contexts (CpG motifs).
These CpG motifs are present at a 20-fold greater frequency in bacterial DNA than in mammalian DNA. CpG ODNs activate Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), leading to strong immunostimulatory effects.
ODN 2006 (ODN 7909) is a class B CpG ODN and is a ligand of choice for human TLR9. Class B CpG ODNs contain a full phosphorothioate backbone with one or more CpG dinucleotides.
They strongly activate B cells but weakly stimulate IFN-α secretion in pDCs.
Quality control: - TLR9 activity has been tested using HEK-Blue™ TLR9 cells. - The absence of bacterial contamination (e.g. lipoproteins and endotoxins) has been confirmed using HEK-Blue™ TLR2 and HEK-Blue™ TLR4 cells.
