The efficacy of oligodeoxynucleotides containing unmethylated CpG dinucleotides (CpG ODN) as an adjuvant for rabbits was assessed alone and in combination with aluminum hydroxide (CpG/alum). The CpG/alum combination elicited a greater immune response to several antigens compared to Freund's adjuvant. A non-CpG/alum combination did not have the same effects as CpG/alum suggesting that the adjuvanticity was related to the CpG motifs. In addition, we formulated one of the antigens with combinations of CpG ODN and 30 or 10% Emulsigen (Em) [CpG/Em (30%) and CpG/Em (10%)]. Both CpG/Em (30%) and CpG/Em (10%) were more effective than Em, and equivalent to CpG/alum. The CpG/Em (10%) combination caused minimal tissue damage. Our results demonstrate that the addition of CpG ODN to aluminum hydroxide or to 10% Em significantly improves the efficiency of these adjuvants, without enhancing tissue reaction.
