Abstract:Herein, a dissipative system tailored for the controlled loading and release of CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG ODNs), known for their pharmacological immunostimulatory properties, is reported. The approach involves multiple cycles of deactivation and activation of the CpG ODNs via its hybridization with a complementary fuel strand, followed by its selective release mediated by the enzymatic activity of T7 exonuclease. The autonomous and temporal behavior of this dissipative system can be tuned by three factors… Show more
