  • Patent number: 9205153
    Abstract: The invention relates to the regulation of the immune system, and in particular to the finding that the CLEC9a molecule is a marker for dendritic cells which are capable of cross-presenting extracellular antigens via the MHC class I pathway. This makes them particularly suitable for generation of cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses. Materials and methods are provided both for the induction of immune responses against target antigens, and for the inhibition or suppression of undesirable immune responses in which these cells are involved.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20090169472
    Abstract: The present invention provides oligonucleotides, compositions comprising them and methods that use the oligonucleotides and compositions for stimulating cells expressing the TLR7 and/or TLR8 receptor. The oligonucleotides comprise for stimulating TLR7 comprise uracil-rich regions. The oligonucleotides for stimulating TLR8 comprise guanine-rich regions. The present methods and compositions are useful, inter alia, for treating or preventing conditions such as infectious disease and cancer.
