Abstract:
The present application is directed to the use of dsRNA and/or ssRNA for the purpose of inducing apoptosis or cell death in proliferating cells. Specifically, low molecular weight and high molecular weight dsRNA and ssRNA are shown to induce apoptosis and/or cell death in proliferating cells, to arrest proliferation of transformed cells or tumor cells and to cause rapid induction of the cytokine TNF-alpha and/or also induce production of IL-12 which directs a Th-1 response.

Abstract:
The present application is directed to non-coding RNA motifs that are used in conjunction with an antigen or without an antigen to induce, enhance or modulate an immune response that comprises a B cell and a T cell component.

Abstract:
Abstract The present invention is directed to novel compositions that cause effective redirection of class I-immunity to Te 1 effectors, that take advantage of the unexpected loading of MHC I by peptide within IgG backbone combined with appropriate instruction of antigen presenting cells. Such compositions are able to transform a seemingly ineffective therapeutics into a highly effective one, associated with generation of class I-restricted cytolytic cells and IFN-y, IL-2 producing T cells, further associated with protection against a highly virulent microbe or recovery from malignant tumoral process.
