Abstract:
lmmunostimulatory oligonucleotides, which contain a CpG immunostimulatory motif and a second motif that is capable of forming secondary structure, including duplex and higher order structures in vitro and./n vivo, are disclosed. They include nucleic acids, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, having base sequences that include 5' TCGTCGTTTTCGGCGCGCGCCGT 3' (SEQ ID NO: 1), in which each C is unmethylated and 3' refers to the 31 end of the nucleic acid. The oligonucleotides activate B cells and NK cells and induce expression of type I interferon and interferon-?. The oligonucleotides are useful for treating a variety of disorders and conditions, including allergy, asthma, infection, and cancer. In addition to their use as single agents and as combination therapies, the disclosed oligonucleotides are useful as adjuvants in vaccines.

Abstract:
Improved vaccine compositions and methods of use thereof are described that elicit production of antibodies in an individual to the individual's own endogenous cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP).
Abstract:
The invention relates to specific C-Class semi-soft CpG immunostimulatory oligonucleotides that are useful for stimulating an immune response. In particular the oligonucleotides are useful for treating allergy, such as allergic rhinitis and asthma, cancer and infectious disease, such as hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
Abstract:
The invention provides in part novel screening methods and compositions for identifying and distinguishing between candidate immunomodulatory compounds. The invention further provides methods for assessing biological activity of composition containing a known TLR ligand. These latter methods can be used for quality assessment and selection of various lots of test compositions, including pharmaceutical products for clinical use.
