We hypothesized that CpG ODN therapy could be effective in immunotherapy of conventional MHC class I+ tumours as well as tumours that lost MHC class I expression during their progression. We employed the animal model resembling MHC class I+ and I- human papilloma virus 16-associated tumours. Immunotherapy with CpG ODN 1826 significantly reduced the growth of MHC class I-proficient and -deficient tumours. We also demonstrated that CpG ODN 1585, which indirectly activate natural killer cells, induced regression of MHC class I- tumours but not I+ tumours. This infers that synthetic CpG ODN have a potential for therapy of MHC class I+ and I- tumours and thus could be also used against tumours with down-regulated MHC class I expression.
