A CpG-containing DNA oligonucleotide functionalized with the 2-(N-formyl-N-methyl)aminoethyl thiophosphate protecting group (CpG ODN fma1555) was prepared from phosphoramidites 1a-d using solid-phase techniques. The oligonucleotide behaved as a prodrug by virtue of its conversion to the well-studied immunomodulatory CpG ODN 1555

Translocation of apolipoprotein (apo) B across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane is a likely site for regulation of secretion of very low density lipoproteins from the liver. When primary rat hepatocytes are enriched with the phospholipid phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, the secretion of apoB

The role of phospholipids in the assembly and secretion of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) has been investigated by incubation of monolayer cultures of rat hepatocytes with monomethylethanolamine, an analogue of ethanolamine and choline. The cellular concentration of phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine was
