   Immunopotency of methylated CpG ODN
 
Methylation of CpG-containing oligonucleotides (CpG ODN) usually abrogates their immunostimulatory activity. Here, Wilson and colleagues (p. 757) show that if methylated CpG ODN are encapsulated into liposomal nanoparticles, they are as potent as unmethylated CpG ODN. Both forms signal via Toll-like receptor 9 and the authors discuss the implications for recognition of the two forms of CpG ODN.
