Patent ID: 8232259

Claim:
An oligodeoxynucleotide composition comprising a first oligodeoxynucleotide of 20 to 50 nucleotides in length, wherein the first oligodeoxynucleotide comprises SEQ ID NO: 42; a second oligodeoxynucleotide of 20 to 50 nucleotides in length, wherein the second oligodeoxynucleotide comprises the nucleic acid sequence set forth as SEQ ID NO: 32; and a third oligodeoxynucleotide of 20 to 50 nucleotides in length, wherein the third oligodeoxynucleotide comprises the nucleic acid sequence set forth as SEQ ID NO: 40; wherein the first oligodeoxynucleotide, the second oligodeoxynucleotide and the third oligodeoxynucleotide each comprise an unmethylated CpG motif, and wherein the first oligodeoxynucleotide, the second oligodeoxynucleotide and the third oligodeoxynucleotide are modified to prevent degradation, and wherein the composition induces an immune response in at least 80 percent of individuals in a population.
