| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Chemosynthetic immuno-functional oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) are also useful as adjuvants for vaccines against infectious agents, cancer, allergies, and inflammatory disorders. For medical purposes, ODNs have been administered in a variety of ways, including via intraperitoneal (i.p.), intravenous (i.v.), and subcutaneous (s.c.) routes. There are few reports of oral (i.e., intragastric [i.g.]) administration of ODNs as a drug or food material. Here, we successfully developed a simple and low-cost oral oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) delivery system, named DNA nanocapsules (DNanocaps).
