A Single Naturally Occurring 2’-O-Methylation Converts a TLR7- and TLR8-Activating RNA into a TLR8-Specific Ligand

TLR7 and TLR8 recognize RNA from pathogens and lead to subsequent immune stimulation. Here we demonstrate that a single naturally occurring 2’-O-methylation within a synthetic 18s rRNA derived RNA sequence prevents IFN-α production, however secretion of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 is not...
