Monkey NOAEL 0.5 mg/kg CpG adjuvant, >10-fold the clinical mg/kg dose, for systemic immunostimulation
“It should be noted that other systemic manifestations of TLR9 immunostimulation were seen in monkeys (i.e. spleen hyperplasia from 2.5 mg/kg/w and lymph node hyperplasia and liver inflammation at 12.5 mg/kg/w). Of importance, a NOAEL of 0.5 mg/kg 1018 ISS (>10-fold the clinical dose on mg/kg basis) for systemic immunostimulatory effects was identified in this study.”
Monkey NOAEL 0.5 mg/kg CpG 1018 (>10-fold clinical) for systemic immunostimulation; spleen and lymph node hyperplasia, liver inflammation at higher doses
