Session 3C: New Approaches in the Development of Immune Stimulatory Oligonucleotides in Oncology

The innate immune system has evolved multiple different receptors for the detection of viral or bacterial RNA and DNA including several Toll-like receptors (TLR), the RIG-I family of helicases, cGAS, and others. These receptors trigger both T cell and B cell adaptive immune responses that are capable of killing infected host cells. Synthetic nucleic acids that activate several different innate immune receptors are in clinical development for the purpose of triggering innate immune resposnes against tumor antigens in subjects with cancer.
