Poly(I:C)
Poly (I:C), a synthetic double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) analog, is an immunostimulant that acts as the most potent interferon (IFN) inducer. Toll-like receptor- 3 (TLR3) agonist[1]. Its average molecular weight is between 1.5-8kb.
Mixtures that included the TLR7/8 agonists R848 or CL075, combined with the Poly (I:C), yield 3-d mature dendritic cells [2].
Commonly used to stimulate immune system activation in vivo. Also promotes maturation of hPSC-derived cardiomyocytes[3].?

Applications |
Treatment of immature DC for 72 h with poly(I:C) resulted in the typical DC morphology and induced significant maturation. Poly(I:C)-treated DC remained stable in phenotype after cytokine withdrawal. Poly(I:C)-treated DC down-regulated pinocytic activity. Poly(I:C)-treated DC produced high levels of IL-12 and low levels of IL-10. |
Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
