ABOUT
TLR7/8 Agonist - minimal ssRNA motif of ssRNA40 with 6 UUGU repeats - complexed with LyoVec™
The oligoribonucleotide ORN06 contains six repeats of the UUGU sequence motif, identified as the minimal motif responsible for ssRNA40 immunoreactivity. ssRNA40, also known as R-1075, is a U-rich single-stranded (ss)RNA derived from the long terminal repeat of HIV-1, and a strong agonist of the human (h) Toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8) [1].
ssRNA derived from HIV-1 or the influenza virus were shown to induce the production of proinflammatory cytokines by activation of TLR7 and/or TLR8 [2].

Description
InvivoGen's ORN06 is complexed with the cationic lipid LyoVec™ to protect it from degradation and facilitate its uptake. Moreover, phosphorothioate linkages were incorporated in order to extend the effective molecular lifetime by minimizing extra and intracellular nuclease degradation. ORN06/LyoVec™ is a strong agonist of human TLR8 and mouse TLR7, as verified by using our HEK-Blue™ reporter cell lines. Moreover, it slightly activates human TLR7 in our HEK-derived cells (see figure).

Details
Single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) has been identified as the natural ligand of TLR7 and TLR8 [1, 2]. ssRNA derived from HIV-1 or the influenza virus were shown to induce the production of proinflammatory cytokines in pDC.
This induction was reproduced using U-rich single-stranded RNAs, such as polyU or GU-rich (ssRNA40) ODNs complexed with cationic lipids to protect them from degradation.
According to Diebold et al., this activation is sequence-independent as long as the ssRNAs contain several uridines in close proximity [1].
However, recent studies suggest sequence-dependent recognition of U-rich ssRNAs by TLR7 and TLR8.
They demonstrate that AU-rich and GU-rich oligoribonucleotides (ORNs) are capable of activating TLR8, whereas only GU-rich ORNs are able to stimulate TLR7 [3].
ORN 06 contains 6 repeats of the UUGU sequence motif, identified as the minimal motif responsible for ssRNA40 immunoactivity [3].
