B cell lymphoma immunotherapy using TLR9-targeted oligonucleotide STAT3 inhibitors

Growing evidence links the aggressiveness of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, especially the activated B cell-like type diffuse large B cell lymphomas (ABC-DLBCLs) to Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9)/MyD88 and STAT3 transcription factor signaling. Here, we describe a dual-function molecule consisting of a clinically relevant TLR9 agonist (CpG7909) and a STAT3 inhibitor in the form of a high-affinity decoy […]
