Abstract
To investigate their potential mechanisms of action, the nucleoside analogue ribavirin and a TLR9 agonist were compared. The CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) demonstrated strong TLR9-related Th1-type effects, and ribavirin appeared only to mediate signaling in TLR-transfected cells. CpG ODN represent a promising new type of therapeutic drug for hepatitis C or other infectious diseases.Entities:
