Efficacy of CpG-ODN Administration Routes on Humoral Responses against Newcastle disease in Broilers [PDF]
Un-methylated cytosine-phosphate-guanosine oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODN) has been considered as a powerful vaccine adjuvant and recognition of CpG-ODN by chicken leukocytes promotes their ability to fight against infections.

KITD816V+ systemic mastocytosis associated with KITD816V+ acute erythroid leukaemia: first case report with molecular evidence for same progenitor cell derivation [PDF]
Toll-like receptor (TLR)-9 recognizes CpG motifs in microbial DNA. TLR9 signalling stimulates innate antimicrobial immunity and modulates adaptive immune responses including autoimmunity against chromatin, e.g., in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE ...
