Synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides containing CpG dinucleotides (CpG-ODN) mimic the immunostimulatory qualities of bacterial DNA. We asked whether immunostimulation by CpG-ODN predisposes for a commitment toward a Th1 vs a Th2 response in Leishmania major infection, a model for a lethal Th2-driven disease, in BALB/c mice. CpG-ODN induced Th1 effector T cells in vitro and conveyed protective immunity to disease-prone BALB/c mice in vivo. Conversion to a Th1-driven resistant phenotype was associated with IL-12 production and maintained the expression of IL-12R ß2-chains. Most strikingly, CpG-ODN were even curative when given as late as 20 days after lethal L. major infection, indicating that CpG-ODN revert an established Th2 response. These findings imply an important role of bacterial DNA and CpG-ODN in the instruction of adaptive immune responses. They also point to the therapeutic potential of CpG-ODN in redirecting curative Th1 responses in Th2-driven disorders.
