Popis: We provided evidence that the TLR9 engagement of innate immune cells present in the tumor microenvironment by CpG-oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG-ODN) induces down-modulation of DNA repair gene expression in tumor cells, sensitizing cancer cells to DNA-damaging chemotherapy. These findings expand the benefits of CpG-ODN therapy beyond induction of a strong immune response.
