CpG ODN, type B (murine) - TLR9-based adjuvant
CpG ODN 1826 is a synthetic immunostimulatory oligonucleotide (ODN) that contains unmethylated CpG dinucleotides.
ODN 1826 is a class B CpG ODN specific for mouse Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9). It strongly activates B cells, weakly stimulates IFN-α secretion in pDCs, and generates Th1-dominant immune responses.
ODN 1826 VacciGrade™ is a high-quality pre-clinical grade.
ODN 1826 VacciGrade™ is for research use only, and not for human or veterinary use.

Back to the topVacciGrade™
VacciGrade™ is a high-quality pre-clinical grade. VacciGrade™ products are filter-sterilized (0.2 µm) and filled under strict aseptic conditions in a clean room*. The absence of bacterial contamination is assessed by a sterility test using a pharmacopeia-derived assay. The level of bacterial contaminants (endotoxins and lipoproteins) in each lot is verified using a LAL assay and/or a TLR2 and TLR4 reporter assay.
*Except for LPS VacciGrade™, which is prepared in a laminar flow hood dedicated to LPS.
Details
Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides containing unmethylated CpG motifs (CpG ODNs), such as ODN 1826, 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 TLR9, which is expressed exclusively 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, and 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]. Furthermore, CpG ODNs activate TLR9 in a species-specific manner [6].
ODN 1826 is a type B CpG ODN specific for mouse TLR9. Type B CpG ODNs contain a full phosphorothioate backbone with one or more CpG dinucleotides and can strongly activate B cells [4].
ODN 1826 has been tested as an adjuvant in numerous animal models [7-9].
Research in mice demonstrated that ODN 1826 administration can induce the activation of antigen presenting cells8 and type I IFN anti-viral activity [8-9], indicative of a Th1 immune response.
