Broad-Spectrum Drugs Against Viral Agents 2008-09-01 .txt text/plain 11323 550 40 Nonspecific, broad-spectrum immune responses can be induced by double-stranded (ds)RNAs such as poly (ICLC), or oligonucleotides (ODNs) containing unmethylated deocycytidyl-deoxyguanosinyl (CpG) motifs. Poly (ICLC), a dsRNA, and CpG ODNs, molecular mimics for TLR3 and TLR9, respectively, have been reported to non-specifically stimulate the innate immune system and to provide protection against various bacterial and viral pathogens, including influenza. Mice treated with two doses of poly (ICLC), 48 h apart, up to 12 d prior to viral challenge were completely protected from infection, whereas survival rates decreased to 80, 40 and 0%, when pre-treatment was given 14, 16 or 20 d prior to virus challenge, respectively [32] . CpG ODN treatment of splenocytes from senescence-accelerated SAM-P1 strain of mice increased IFN-γ and administration in vivo generated virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses, NK cell activation, virus-specific Ig isotype switch from IgG1 to IgG2a, increased viral clearance and survival following influenza viral challenge.
