Title:
ACTIVATORS OF INNATE IMMUNITY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/150320
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention includes IFN activating agents that activate expression of IFN-B, activate NF-κΒ expression, activate an innate immune response, activate the expression of one or more cytokines, and/or induce the expression of interferon beta (TFN-β) through a RNase L and/or MDA5-dependent pathway. Such IFN activating agents include single stranded RNAs that encode for conserved region Π of the L protein of a negative stranded RNA virus, including, but not limited to, viruses of the family Paramyxoviridae. Also included are methods of making and using such IFN activating agents and vaccine compositions including such IFN activating agents.
