Cutting Edge: CpG Oligodeoxynucleotides Trigger Protective and Curative Th1 Responses in Lethal Murine Leishmaniasis

1998-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides containing CpG dinucleotides (CpG-ODN) mimic the immunostimulatory qualities of bacterial DNA. We asked whether immunostimulation by CpG-ODN predisposes for a commitment toward a Th1 vs a Th2 response in Leishmania major infection, a model for a lethal Th2-driven disease, in BALB/c mice. CpG-ODN induced Th1 effector T cells in vitro and conveyed protective immunity to disea...
