Polyinosinic acid Polycytidylic Acid, Sodium Salt, Double-Stranded is a TLR3 (Toll-like receptor 3) agonist. Known to induce interferon production. Hypochromicity: ≥40% at 248 nm. Extinction coefficient = 5000 M-1cm-1 at 260 nm, pH 7.0. Agent for generation of stable, mature dendritic cells (DC) and immunostimulant.
White or off-white powder, soluble in water, insoluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetaminophen.
Polyinosinic Acid is an oligolysines used in nucleic acid binding and other biomedical applications.
Polyinosinic acid (Poly(I)) is a homopolymer of inosine that may be used with polycytidylic acid (poly(C)) to form the double-stranded homopolymer (Poly(I).Poly(C)). TLR3 recognizes double-stranded RNA and is a major effector of the immune response against viral pathogens. (Poly(I).Poly(C)) is a used as a model RNA to study cell signaling at the level of TLR3. Poly(IC) is a TRIF-dependent toll-like receptor-3 (TLR3) ligand.
Polyinosinic acid has antiviral, anti-tumor, lymphocyte immune function enhancement and nucleic acid metabolism inhibition effects.
Polyinosinic acid is a single stranded homonucleic acid, which is a Toll-like Receptor 3 (TLR3) ligand. Polyinosinic acid enhances cellular immune response through TLR3 and TRIF.
