"CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) may prevent mortality from infection. We have identified a therapeutic benefit in treating sepsis with phosphorothioate ODN sequences containing the CpG motif. Sepsis was induced in rats by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), and treatment with CpG ODNs reduced sepsis mortality from 80% to 15% during a 108-hour period," researchers in the United States report.
"Protection from mortality was dose dependent. Bacterial load in peritoneal fluid was reduced in CpG ODN-treated versus non-CpG ODN-treated rats after CLP. Lung injury, as determined by total...
