Statement of Work

Innate Immune Receptors and Adjuvant Discovery

Overview: The work in this proposal addresses research area (RA) 1a in using analytical approaches to investigate TLR7, TLR8, and TLR9. We will determine their structures using X-ray crystallography and molecular modeling and perform extensive SAR using mini-libraries of synthetic oligonucleotides (ON) using, either [********] DNA backbones (ODN), or [*********] or [******************]. We include in the work under RA1 mutational analyses of the receptors to assist in [*************************]. We also address RA1b in our proposal, by experiments investigating the cellular responses to [**********], in terms of the [**********] and [********] that are produced.

RA2 is addressed by experiments in which the [************] are tested in detail for their effects on the human and mouse receptors, and for their effect on mouse and human immune cells in order to sort mini libraries of [********] into “bins” with similar characteristics, in order to promote further analysis and to simplify the in vivo testing to be performed in RA3. the work in this Aim also will allow us to “bridge” between the human and mouse studies, so that the in vitro human and mouse work of RA2 will allow us to infer from the in vivo mouse work of RA3 conclusions that may be general to humans and primates, to the extent that this is possible.

RA3 is addressed by in vivo experiments that will first determine the [*************************] of [********************] from the different bins. These data will be used for the [*************************] of [*************************] under RA2. To narrow down the number of [*************] that have to be taken into the [*******] in vivo testing, and to increase the hit rate of the [********************], we will [*************************] at an early stage. Finally in RA3 we will test the [*********] of [************] both as [*************************] for the [*************************] of [*****************************], and also as adaptive immune activators for the [********************] of mice to protect against [*******] with [********], and for the [***********] of [***] to [****************************] against a variety of [********], including [******]. The timelines for these experiments and the specific milestones we will meet are on the following pages.
