| Research Abstract |
Recently, pathogenic microorganisms acquired drug-resistance, and they are spreading throughout the world. Antibiotics were presented as "magic bullets" against infectious diseases in the 20th century, however, the heavy usage of antibiotics has led to the appearance of drug-resistant microorganisms. Thus, it has become difficult to treat most infantile diarrhea with basic antibiotics in the developing countries. Now, it is important to develop and improve the enteric and general immune activators on the basis of fundamental investigations. In this proposal, we focus on a CpG motif among the DNA sequence. The CpG motif is observed at high frequency in the genomes of pathogenic microorganisms. It works as an immune activator to boost production of antigen-specific immune responses. In this study, we constructed "DNA origami" immune activators being fixed the GpG motifs to the outside using M13 DNA, aiming to obtain the immunopotentiating effect.
