Synthetic double-stranded DNA

Poly(dG:dC) is a poly(deoxyguanylic-deoxycytidylic) acid sodium salt. It is a repetitive synthetic double-stranded DNA sequence of poly(dG-dC)•poly(dC-dG).

Intracellular poly(dG:dC) is detected by several cytosolic DNA sensors (CDS), such as cGAS [1], DAI [2], DDX41 [2, 3], IFI16 [2, 3] and LRRFIP1 [2, 4], triggering the production of type I interferons (IFNs). This induction of IFN appears to be mediated by the endoplasmic reticulum protein STING [1, 4, 5].

Moreover, Poly(dG:dC) activates the cytosolic DNA sensor AIM2 (absent in melanoma 2) to trigger inflammasome formation, leading to the secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 [6]. 

To achieve stimulation of cytosolic DNA sensors, Poly(dG:dC) must be delivered into the cytoplasm, for example by using a transfection agent, such as LyoVec™.

Key features of Poly(dG:dC):

• Poly(dG:dC) is a cytosolic DNA sensor (CDS) agonist

• Each lot is functionally tested

• For your convenience, pre-complexed Poly(dG:dC)/ LyoVec™ is also available

Responses of B16-Blue™ IFNα/β cells to dsDNA and dsRNA:

B16-Blue™ IFNα/β cells were stimulated with increasing concentrations of poly(dA:dT), poly(dG:dC) or 5’ppp-dsRNA complexed extemporaneously with the transfection reagent LyoVec™.
After 24h incubation, induction of type I IFNs was assessed by determining the levels of SEAP using QUANTI-Blue™, a SEAP detection medium.
