Abstract CpG-containing oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG ODNs) act on Toll-like receptor 9
(TLR9) that is expressed on B cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) to stimulate the
innate immune system, however, different types of CpG ODNs induce distinct responses.
Recent papers suggest some CpG ODNs could require a second receptor or cofactor to
