Application
TLR3 recognizes double-stranded RNA and is a major effector of the immune response against viral pathogens. Polyinosinic–polycytidylic acid (Poly(I) • Poly(C)) is a double-stranded homopolymer used as a model RNA to study cell signaling at the level of TLR3. Poly(IC) is a TRIF-dependent toll-like receptor-3 (TLR3) ligand.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Transfection of Poly (I:C) into NIT-1 cells has been used as a model of intracellular dsRNA-induced β cell apoptosis. Eighteen hours post transfection, 45% of the cells were apoptotic with an increase in NF-kB, p50/p65 nuclear translocation, and cleavage of caspases 3 and 8, as well as transcriptional induction of caspase 12, Fas, IL-15, and the TNF receptor-associated ligand (TRAIL). It has been suggested that Poly(I:C) is one of the most appropriate generators of stable mature dendritic cells (DC). These mature DC might generate in vivo effective immune responses after injection due to their ability to secrete bioactive IL-12 after CD40 ligation. Poly (I:C) was used as a potent adjuvant to enhance the specific anti-tumor immune responses against a peptide-based vaccine.

Other Notes
Double-stranded homopolymer.
Preparation Note
The product requires ionic strength to maintain the double-strand structure. Reconstitution at ~10 mg/mL of water yields a polynucleotide in physiological phosphate buffered solution.

What is the difference between Polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid potassium salt Products P9582, P1038, P1530 and P0913?
1 answer-
Prod No. P9582 as well as Prod. Nos. P1530 and P0913 are double-stranded with one strand of Poly(I) and one strand of Poly(C). Prod. No. P1038 is a single-stranded RNA analog with C and I randomly making up the polynucelotide strand. Double-stranded Prod. No. P9582 is a potassium salt while double-stranded Prod. Nos. P0913 and P1038 are sodium salts. Prod. No. P0913 is gamma-irradiated. None of the other products have been gamma-irradiated. Unlike the other products, only approximately 10% of the total mass of Prod. No. P9582 is actually polynucleotide. The remaining 90% is buffer salts as sodium chloride and sodium phosphate.

Why is the total mass of Product P9582, Polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid potassium salt, in my bottle much greater than the designated package size?
1 answer-
The package size is based on the polynucleotide content. However, since the polynucleotide is supplied with sodium chloride and sodium phosphate buffer salts, its mass represented by the package size is approximately 10% of the total mass present in the bottle.

Should Polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid potassium salt Product P9582 or P1038 be used for cell activation?
1 answer-
For cell activation, synthetic double-stranded RNA is widely used as ligand of Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) in place of what is supposed to be the natural ligand (viral dsRNA). The double stranded RNA homopolymer, i.e. Poly(I):Poly(C), Prod. No. P9582 can be used for this application. P1038 is a single-stranded RNA and will not activate TLR3.
