Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0006588A1] The interactions of nucleic acids with proteins can be selective for the R stereoisomer, the S stereoisomer, or can be stereoindependent. The present invention demonstrates that the S stereoisomer of CpG containing DNA is active in mediating the immune stimulatory effects of CpG DNA. The invention provides methods of use of a pure stereoisomer or of DNA enriched for this form for clinical applications for CpG DNA, such as vaccine adjuvants, immune activators for the prevention or treatment of retroviral, viral, parasitic or fungal diseases, or cancer immunotherapy, immunotherapy of allergic and asthmatic diseases, etc. The invention also provides methods of use for R stereoisomer DNA to oppose the immune stimulatory effects of CpG DNA. Such R stereoisomers are useful in the treatment of diseases such as Sepsis syndrome, intestinal inflammatory diseases, psoriasis, gingivitis, systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune diseases.
