TLR7 Agonist - Base analog
CL307 is a potent and specific Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist. It was generated by covalently linking a spermine to the adenine analog CL264, a TLR7 agonist developed by InvivoGen. Coupling with spermine enhances cellular uptake by endocytosis [1, 2] and the subsequent delivery to TLR7.
TLR7 is an innate immune sensor expressed on the surface of endosomes. It recognizes viral single-stranded ribonucleic acid (ssRNA) as its natural ligand and also small synthetic molecules such as imidazoquinolines and nucleoside analogs [3]. Activation of TLR7 leads to NF-κB/AP1- and interferon (IFN) regulatory factor-mediated production of type I IFNs and pro-inflammatory cytokines [3].
Notably, titration experiments with InvivoGen’s HEK-Blue™ hTLR7 cells, which stably express an NF-κB-inducible SEAP reporter gene and human TLR7, demonstrated that CL307 induces robust NF-κB activation at concentrations as low as 20 nM (10 ng/ml). Furthermore, it has been reported in the literature that CL307 induces the production of the pro‑inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-6, by peripheral blood mononuclear cells [1]. Importantly, CL307 is a TLR7-specific ligand that does not activate TLR8 even at high concentrations (>10 µg/ml).
Key Features of CL307:
- Potent and specific activator of human & murine TLR7
- Does not activate TLR8
- Each lot of CL307 is highly pure (≥95%) and functionally tested

Details
HEK-Blue™ hTLR7 cells, which stably express an NF-κB-inducible SEAP reporter gene and human TLR7 were incubated in HEK-Blue™ Detection (a SEAP detection growth medium) and stimulated with increasing concentrations of the agonists indicated in the graph.
After 24h incubation, the levels of NF-κB-induced SEAP were determined by reading the OD at 655 nm.
RAW-Blue™ cells, which stably express an NF-κB-inducible SEAP reporter gene, were stimulated with 0.6 µg/ml of InvivoGen’s multi-PRR ligands complexed with 0.1 µg/ml HSV-60 (synthetic dsDNA).
After 24h incubation, the levels of NF-κB-induced SEAP were determined using QUANTI-Blue™, a SEAP detection reagent.
