Abstract

Bacterial DNA activates mouse macrophages, B cells, and dendritic cells in a TLR9-dependent manner. Although short ssCpG-containing phosphodiester oligonucleotides (PO-ODN) can mimic the action of bacterial DNA on macrophages, they are much less immunostimulatory than Escherichia coli DNA. In this s...
