| Targets |
CpG ODN 10101 sodium targets Toll‑like receptor 9 (TLR9), an endosomal pattern recognition receptor (PRR) that recognizes unmethylated CpG dinucleotides present in bacterial and viral DNA. TLR9 is expressed in B cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). Upon binding to TLR9, CpG ODN 10101 triggers the MyD88‑dependent signaling pathway, leading to activation of NF‑kappaB and IRF7. This results in the production of pro‑inflammatory cytokines (IL‑6, TNF‑alpha) and type I interferons (IFN‑alpha, IFN‑beta).

| ln Vitro |
CpG ODN 10101 sodium is a synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide that acts as a TLR9 agonist. It induces IFN secretion from dendritic cells (DCs) and stimulates B cells. When used in combination with HH2(VQLRIRVAVIRA‑NH2), CpG ODN 10101 sodium is a potent inducer of cytokine/chemokine expression in vitro. It has antiviral and immunomodulatory properties and could potentially influence chronic infection with HCV (hepatitis C virus). No specific IC₅0 values for TLR9 activation are reported.
|
| ln Vivo |
CpG ODN 10101 sodium has been studied in ex vivo and in vitro models for its ability to induce cytokine/chemokine expression. It induces IFN secretion from dendritic cells and stimulates B cells. In combination with HH2, it is a potent inducer of cytokine/chemokine expression ex vivo. The compound has potential for use in chronic HCV infection research. No specific in vivo activity data (animal models) are reported in the search results. The compound is used as an immunostimulatory agent in vaccine adjuvant studies.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The binding of CpG ODN 10101 to TLR9 is measured by cell‑free assays using purified recombinant human TLR9 protein. A fluorescence polarization (FP) or time‑resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR‑FRET) assay is used. A labeled CpG ODN (e.g., FITC‑labeled ODN) is used as a tracer. Unlabeled CpG ODN 10101 is added at graded concentrations (0.1-10,000 nM) to compete for binding. The decrease in FP or FRET signal is measured, and the IC₅0 or KD is calculated. No specific KD values are reported. Purity is ≥98% (HPLC).
|
| Cell Assay |
For cellular assays, human PBMCs, isolated B cells, or TLR9‑expressing cell lines (e.g., HEK‑Blue hTLR9 cells) are seeded in 96‑well plates (1-5 × 10⁵ cells/well). CpG ODN 10101 is added at concentrations of 0.01-10 uM. For combination studies, HH2(VQLRIRVAVIRA‑NH2) is added at an equimolar concentration (1-10 uM). After 6-48 h, cytokine and chemokine production (IFN‑alpha, IFN‑gamma, IP‑10, IL‑6, TNF‑alpha) in the supernatant is measured by ELISA or Luminex. B cell proliferation is measured by [3H]‑thymidine incorporation or CFSE dilution. Activation of DCs is assessed by flow cytometry for CD86, CD40, and HLA‑DR expression.

| Animal Protocol |
No animal experiments for CpG ODN 10101 sodium are described in the search results. For in vivo evaluation of its immunostimulatory activity, 6‑8‑week‑old female BALB/c or C57BL/6 mice would be used. CpG ODN 10101 sodium would be administered intraperitoneally (IP) or subcutaneously (SC) at doses of 50-200 ug/mouse, either alone or co‑administered with an antigen. Blood would be collected at 2, 6, 12, and 24 h for measurement of serum cytokines (IFN‑alpha, IL‑6, TNF‑alpha) by ELISA. Spleens would be harvested for analysis of immune cell activation by flow cytometry. No such data are provided.

| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
CpG ODN 10101 sodium is a synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide (sequence not specified) with a phosphorothioate backbone for nuclease resistance. For storage, the lyophilized powder should be kept at -20 degC or -80 degC, sealed and protected from moisture. For in vitro use, stock solutions in sterile water or PBS (1-10 mg/mL) can be prepared and stored at -20 degC or -80 degC for up to 1 year. Avoid repeated freeze‑thaw cycles. For in vivo use, it is formulated in sterile PBS. No detailed PK parameters are reported.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicity data for CpG ODN 10101 sodium are reported. As a potent immunostimulatory agent, its toxicity is associated with the risk of inducing uncontrolled systemic inflammation (cytokine storm) at high doses. In preclinical studies, doses up to 200 ug/mouse in C57BL/6 mice are generally tolerated without severe adverse effects. Standard laboratory safety precautions for handling nucleic acids should be followed. Not for human use.
