Immunostimulatory DNA Prepriming for the Induction of Th1 and Prevention of Th2 Biased Immune Responses

  • Chapter
Book cover Microbial DNA and Host Immunity

Abstract

Early reports on the immunologic activity of ISS-ODN focused on its ability to induce natural killer (NK) cell activation, B-cell proliferation, and the production of type-1 cytokines such as IL-12, type 1 IFNs, and IFN-γ from antigen-presenting cells (APCs), B cells, and NK cells in an antigen independent manner (1–4). In addition to these effects, ISS-ODN has more recently been shown to increase the expression of various costimulatory molecules on APCs and B cells (Figs. 1 A,B) (5–7). Interestingly, although ISSODN induces an innate cytokine response and increased costimulatory molecule expression by several cell types, ISS-ODN does not appear to activate T cells directly (6,8).
