Treatment with an oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) containing CPG motifs (CpG ODN 7909) was found to protect BALB/c mice from lung infection or death after aerosol challenge with Burkholderia mallei. Protection was associated with enhanced levels of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma)-inducible protein 10, interleukin-12 (IL-12), IFN-gamma, and IL-6. Preexposure therapy with CpG ODNs may protect victims of a biological attack from glanders.
研究发现,用含胞嘧啶-磷酸-鸟嘌呤基序的寡脱氧核苷酸(ODN)(CpG ODN 7909)进行治疗,可保护BALB/c小鼠在经鼻疽伯克霍尔德菌气溶胶攻击后免受肺部感染或死亡。这种保护作用与γ干扰素(IFN-γ)诱导蛋白10、白细胞介素-12(IL-12)、IFN-γ和IL-6水平升高有关。用CpG ODN进行暴露前治疗可能会保护生物攻击的受害者免受鼻疽感染。
