"Synthetic Oligodeoxynucleotides Containing CpG Motifs Enhance Immunogenicity of a Peptide Malaria Vaccine in Aotus Monkeys."

According to the authors' abstract of an article published in Vaccine, "Synthetic peptide and recombinant protein vaccines are optimally immunogenic when delivered with an effective adjuvant. Candidate vaccines currently insufficiently immunogenic may induce a protective immunity if they could be delivered with more effective adjuvants. For example, immunogens that induce promising responses when administered to mice with complete and incomplete Freund's adjuvants perform less well in primate animal models where complete Freund's adjuvant is not used. We report the use of synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides containing CpG motifs, the sequences of which are based on immunostimulatory...
