Poly(dA:dT) naked

Synthetic analog of B-DNA

Poly(dA:dT) is a poly(deoxyadenylic-deoxythymidylic) acid sodium salt. It is a repetitive synthetic double-stranded DNA sequence of poly(dA-dT):poly(dT-dA) and a synthetic analog of B-DNA.

Poly(dA:dT)  is recognized by multiple PRRs:
- Sensing by cytosolic DNA sensors (CDS), including cGAS, AIM2, DAI, DDX41, IFI16, and LRRFIP1, triggers the production of type I interferons [1-3].
- Sensing by the cytosolic DNA sensor AIM2 triggers the formation of an inflammasome and the subsequent secretion of IL-1β and IL-18 [4].
- Indirect sensing by the cytosolic RNA sensor RIG-I can occur upon the transcription of Poly(dA:dT) into dsRNA with a 5'triphosphate moiety (5'ppp-dsRNA) by the RNA polymerase III [5,6]. This indirect sensing by RIG-I leads to the production of type I interferons [7].

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

Key features of Poly(dA:dT):

• Poly(dA:dT) is a multi-PRR agonist.

• Its biological activity has been verified using our RLR reporter cell lines and Inflammasome Test Cells.

• For your convenience, pre-complexed Poly(dA:dT)/ LyoVec™ is also available.
