Adjuvant Properties of Cytosine-Phosphate-Guanosine Oligodeoxynucleotide in Combination with Various Polycations in an Ovalbumin-Vaccine Model

Oligonucleotides containing CpG motifs (cytosine-phosphate-guanosine oligodeoxynucleotide [CpG ODN]) display strong immunostimulatory effects, and polycations have been previously reported as cellular delivery system. In the present study, we investigated the adjuvant properties of combinations of a CpG ODN with various polycations…
