Unmethylated CpG motifs present in bacterial DNA rapidly trigger an innate immune response characterized by the activation of Ig- and cytokine-secreting cells. Synthetic oligonucleotides (ODNs) containing CpG motifs mimic this activity, triggering monocytes to proliferate, secrete and/or differentiate. Analysis of hundreds of novel ODNs led to the identification of two structurally distinct classes of CpG motif that differentially activate human monocytes. ODNs of the "K"-type interact with Toll-like receptor 9 and induce monocytes to proliferate and secrete IL-6. In contrast, "D"-type ODNs trigger monocytes to differentiate into mature dendritic cells.

CpG oligodeoxynucleotides induce human monocytes to mature into functional dendritic cells. Gürsel, Mayda; Klinman, DM (2002-09-01) Dendritic cells (DC) excel at presenting antigen to T cells and thus make a key contribution to the induction of primary and secondary immune responses. DC matured in vitro and pulsed with antigen show promise for the immunotherapy of cancer and infectious diseases. Synthetic oligonucleotides (ODN) expressing immunomodulatory "CpG motifs" were found to boost APC function in mice. Current results demonstrate that the recently identified "D" type of CpG ODN stimulate human peripheral blood monocytes to mature...
Signal transduction pathways mediated by the interaction of CpG DNA with Toll-like receptor 9. Takeshita, F; Gursel, I; Ishii, KJ; Suzuki, K; Gürsel, Mayda; Klinman, DM (2004-02-01) Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) expressing non-methylated "CpG motifs" patterned after those present in bacterial DNA have characteristic immunomodulatory effects. CpG DNA is recognized as a pathogen-associated molecular pattern, and triggers a rapid innate immune response. CpG ODN are being harnessed for a variety of therapeutic uses, including as immune adjuvants, for cancer therapy, as anti-allergens, and as immunoprotective agents. The signal transduction pathway mediated by the engagement of CpG ...
CpG oligodeoxynucleotides protect normal and SIV-infected macaques from Leishmania infection. Verthelyi, D; Gürsel, Mayda; Kenney, RT; Lifson, JD; Liu, S; Mican, J; Klinman, DM (The American Association of Immunologists, 2003-05-01) Oligodeoxynucleotides containing CpG motifs (CpG ODNs) mimic microbial DNA and activate effectors of the innate immune response, which limits the spread of pathogens and promotes an adaptive immune response. CpG ODNs have been shown to protect mice from infection with intracellular pathogens. Unfortunately, CpG motifs that optimally stimulate humans are only weakly active in mice, mandating the use of nonhuman primates to monitor the activity and safety of "human" CpG ODNs in vivo. This study demonstrates t...
Differential immune activation following encapsulation of immunostimulatory CpG oligodeoxynucleotide in nanoliposomes. Erikçi, E; Gürsel, Mayda; Gürsel, I (2011-02-01) The immunogenicity of a vaccine formulation is closely related to the effective internalization by the innate immune cells that provide prolonged and simultaneous delivery of antigen and adjuvant to relevant antigen presenting cells. Endosome associated TLR9 recognizes microbial unmethylated CpG DNA. Clinical applications of TLR9 ligands are significantly hampered due to their pre-mature in vivo digestion and rapid clearance. Liposome encapsulation is a powerful tool to increase in vivo stability as well as...
Enantioselective chemoenzymatic synthesis of oseltamivir (tamiflu)(r) intermediates Eşiyok, Hacı; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Biotechnology (2008) The objective of this presented study was to synthesize optically active compounds considered to be key intermediates in the synthesis of Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) by performing chemical and biotechnological methods. Thereof, the carboethoxy cyclohexenone skeleton first was synthesized utilizing easily available substances. The synthesis of alpha-hydroxy ketones in enantiomerically pure form offers a great importance in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. Toward this fact, the enantioselective synth...
