摘要:
The invention relates to administration of an anti-CTLA-4 antibody, particularly human antibodies to human CTLA-4, such as those having amino acid sequences of antibodies 3.1.1, 4.1.1, 4.8.1, 4.10.2, 4.13.1, 4.14.3, 6.1.1, 11.2.1, 11.6.1, 11.7.1, 12.3.1.1, 12.9.1.1, and MDX-010, in combination with an immunostimulatory nucleotide, i.e., CpG ODN PF3512676, for treatment of cancer. The invention relates to administering a combination of an anti-CTLA-4 antibody and CpG ODN PF3512676 as neoadjuvant, adjuvant, first-line, second-line, and third-line therapy of cancer, whether localized or metastasized, and at any point(s) along the disease continuum (e.g., at any stage of the cancer).

Immunostimulatory sequence-specific RNA oligonucleotides corresponding to 3′ terminal sequences of single-stranded minus-sense RNA genomic RNAs are provided. Also provided are compositions and methods relating to an immunostimulatory 4-mer RNA motif provided as 5′-C/U-U-G/U-U-3′. Incorporation of this short RNA motif is sufficient to confer new and altered immunostimulatory properties in new and existing oligonucleotides, including CpG oligodeoxynucleotides. Also provided are methods for use of the immunostimulatory RNA oligonucleotides and DNA:RNA chimeric oligonucleotides of the invention to induce an immune response in vitro and in vivo, as well as to treat allergy, asthma, infection, and cancer in a subject. Single-stranded oligoribonucleotides of the invention are believed to signal through a Toll-like receptor (TLR) chosen from TLR9, TLR8, TLR7, and TLR3. The oligoribonucleotides can also be used in a method to screen for TLR antagonists.

The invention provides immunostimulatory compositions and use of those compounds in the preparation of medicaments for the treatment of disease as well as in vitro uses. In particular, the compositions of the invention include immunostimulatory oligoribonucleotides that incorporate a sequence-dependent immunostimulatory sequence motif. Specific modifications involving phosphate linkages, nucleotide analogs, adducts, and combinations thereof are provided. Compositions of the invention, which optionally can include an antigen, can be used alone or together with other treatments to stimulate or enhance an immune response. Also provided are compositions and methods useful for treating a subject having an infection, a cancer, an allergic condition, asthma, airway remodeling, or immunodeficiency. Immunostimulatory oligoribonucleotides of the invention are believed to stimulate Toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8).
摘要:
The invention provides immunomodulatory compositions, immunomodulatory combinations, and methods of modulating TLR7-mediated biological activity. Generally, the immunomodulatory compositions include an immunomodulatory oligonucleotide in an amount effective to reduce TLR7-mediated biological activity. In some cases, an immunomodulatory combination can further include an IRM compound. In some of these embodiments, the IRM compound can be a TLR7/8 agonist. Generally, the Imethods include contacting immune cells with an immunomodulatory composition in an amount effective to reduce TLR7-mediated biological activity.
