Class B CpG oligonucleotide - Human TLR9-preferred ligand

TLR9 activation with ODN 2006
TLR9 activation with ODN 2006

ODN 2006 (ODN 7909) is a Class B CpG oligonucleotide (ODN) with a preference for the human Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9). It is a short synthetic single-stranded DNA molecule containing unmethylated CpG dinucleotides (CpG motifs). These 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 and mitochondrial self-DNA [3, 4]. Class B (Type K) CpG ODNs, such as ODN 2006, 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 2006 is a strong TLR9 agonist as verified using our HEK-Blue™ reporter cell lines expressing human or mouse TLR9 (see figure)Moreover, ODN 2006 activates the hTLR9-dependent NF-κB and IRF pathways, as assessed using our THP1-Dual™ hTLR9 reporter cell line expressing two reporter genes, for the NF-κB-inducible SEAP and IRF-inducible Lucia luciferase, as well as hTLR9 (see figure). 

 

Key features of ODN 2006:

  • Potent activator of human TLR9
  • Synthetic ODN with unmethylated CpG motifs
  • Each lot is functionally tested
  • High-quality, pre-clinical ODN 2006 VacciGrade™ is also available for in vivo studies

Species-driven TLR9 differential responses. HEK-Blue™ mTLR9 and HEK-Blue™ human (h)TLR9 cells were cultured in HEK-Blue™ Detection reagent and stimulated for 24 hours with 100 nM of the following TLR9 agonists: ODN 1826, ODN 2006, and ODN 2007. Human TNF-α (1 ng/ml) served as an NF-κ-positive control. After 24h incubation, the NF-κB-induced SEAP activity was assessed by measuring the SEAP level in the supernatant. Data are shown as optical density (OD) at 650 nm (mean ± SEM).

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 types of stimulatory CpG ODNs have been identified, types A, B, 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].
