ODN 1826 Biotin - TLR9 Agonist

Biotin-labeled CpG ODN 1826, Class B, Mouse-preferred

ABOUT

Biotin labeled CpG oligonucleotide - Murine TLR9 ligand

ODN 1826 Biotin is the labeled version of ODN 1826, a Class B CpG oligonucleotide (ODN) with a preference for mouse Toll-like receptor 9 (mTLR9). The biotin label makes it easy to capture, detect or immobilize ODN 1826. This CpG ODN is a short synthetic single-stranded DNA molecule containing unmethylated CpG dinucleotides (CpG motifs). It contains a full phosphorothioate backbone and is nuclease-resistant. These synthetic unmethylated CpG motifs mimic microbial DNA and act as immunostimulants via TLR9.

Mode of action

Stimulatory CpG ODNs are internalized and activate the endosomal receptor TLR9. Activation of TLR9 triggers NF-κB- and interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-mediated pro-inflammatory responses upon the recognition of unmethylated cytosine-phosphorothioate-guanosine (CpG) forms of DNA [1-3]. Unmethylated CpG dinucleotides are a hallmark of microbial (bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasite) DNA, as well as mitochondrial self-DNA [3, 4]. Class B (also called Type K) CpG ODNs, such as ODN 1826, 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 [5].

InvivoGen's ODN 1826 Biotin is the labeled version of the ODN 1826, a strong mTLR9 agonist verified using our HEK-Blue™ TLR9 reporter cell lines expressing human or mouse TLR9.

ODN 1826 Biotin can be used to evaluate CpG ODN cellular uptake and localization using a biotin detection system, light microscopy, or flow cytometry (see figure).The labeled ODN retains the biological activity.

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 major classes of stimulatory CpG ODNs have been identified, classes A (type D), B (type K), 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].
