CpG-OLIGODEOXYNUCLEOTIDE, IMMUNOGENIC COMPOSITION COMPRISING THE SAME, AND METHODS FOR PREPARING THE COMPOSITION AND STIMULATING IMMUNE RESPONSE THEREBY
CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODN), as potent immune stimuli developed for using as adjuvant in different species, are disclosed herein. TLR9 is the cellular receptor for CpG-ODN, and current developed CpG-ODN has low activity to rabbit TLR9. Here, a type of CpG-ODN containing a GACGTT or AACGTT motif in about 11-14 deoxynucleotides was demonstrated to have potent immunostimulatory activity to rabbit TLR9, and capable of boosting a less toxic and potent antibody response in rabbits.
