Whether plasmids containing multiple CpG motifs stimulate the same signaling pathway is yet to be determined. The present results show that the CpG motifs enrich plasmid pUC18-CpG stimulates RAW 264.7 in vitro, mainly through the TBK1-mediated signaling pathway, causing the up-regulation of IFN-β, and pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6. When pUC18-CpG is co-administered with the recombinant Echinococcus granulosus antigen, the antigen-specific antibody titers are markedly increased compared to the Quil-A adju- vanted group. Antigen specific cytokine quantification shows that cytokine profiles from the pUC18-CpG adjuvanted-group are switched to a Th1-biased immune response.}, type={Article}, title={pUC18-CpG stimulates RAW 264.7 via TBK1-mediated pathway and presents adjuvanticity in mice}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/110886/PDF/01.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pjvs.2019.127086}, keywords={adjuvant, CpG DNA, Echinococcus granulosus, TBK1, type I interferons}, }
