Description

BBIQ is a imidazoquinoline compound and a potent and selectively toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist with an EC50 of 59.1 nM for human TLR7. BBIQ is a powerful vaccine adjuvant that enhances innate immune responses[1][2].

In Vitro

BBIQ induces IFN-α in human PBMCs (520 pg/mL at 5 μg/mL)[1].

In Vivo

In mice treated with Chloroquine (CQ) alone, parasite (P. berghei ANKA) appearesd on Day 17 and all mice of this group died by Day 21. Whereas, mice treated with BBIQ along with CQ exhibits no appearance of parasite till Day 23. Frequencies of T cells (CD3+, CD4+and CD8+) and T regulatory cells (CD4+, CD25 +and FoxP3+) are lower in brain of BBIQ + CQ treated mice as compared to BBIQ alone and CQ alone treated mice on Day 10. Inhibition of infiltration of inflammatory T cells and activation of T helper and T cytotoxic cells against the parasite is observed in the mice treated with this combination therapy. Serum levels of IFN-γ and IL-12 are higher on same day in mice treated with BBIQ + CQ which reveals the generation of strong Th1 immune response in mice against the infection[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (5.05 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (16.7 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
