The invention provides methods and compositions useful for modulating signaling through Toll-like receptors. The methods involve contacting a TLR-expressing cell with a small molecule having a core structure including at least two rings. Certain of the compounds are 4-primary amino quinolines. Many of the compounds and methods are useful specifically for inhibiting immune stimulation involving at least one of TLR9, TLR8, TLR7, and TLR3. The methods may have use in the treatment of autoimmunity, inflammation, allergy, asthma, graft rejection, graft versus host disease, infection, sepsis, cancer, and immunodeficiency.

The invention provides immunostimulatory compositions and methods for their use. In particular, the immunostimulatory compositions of the invention include RNA-like polymers that incorporate an immunostimulatory sequence motif and at least one chemical modification to confer improved stability against nuclease degradation and improved activity. Specific modifications involving phosphate linkages, nucleotide analogs, and combinations thereof are provided. Compositions of the invention optionally include an antigen and can be used to stimulate an immune response. Also provided are compositions and methods useful for treating a subject having an infection, a cancer, an allergic condition, or asthma. Modified oligoribonucleotide analogs of the invention are believed to stimulate Toll-like receptors TLR7 and TLR8.

The invention pertains to murine TLR9 and related TLR9s which include murine-specific amino acids, as well as nucleic acids which encode those polypeptides. The present invention also includes fragments and biologically functional variants of the murine TLR9. The invention further relates to methods of using such murine and non-murine TLR9 nucleic acids and polypeptides, especially in methods for screening for agonists and antagonists of immunostimulatory CpG nucleic acids. Also included are murine TLR9 inhibitors which inhibit murine TLR9 activity by inhibiting the expression or function of murine TLR9. In a further aspect the present invention pertains to murine TLR7 and murine TLR8, as well as related TLR7 and TLR8 molecules which include murine-specific amino acids, as well as nucleic acids which encode those polypeptides. The present invention also includes fragments and biologically functional variants of the murine TLR7 and TLR8. Methods are included for screening for ligands of TLR7 and TLR8, as well as for inhibitors and agonists and antagonists of signaling mediated by TLR7 and TLR8.

The present invention is based on the surprising discovery that agonists of TLR8 are uniquely efficacious in enhancing (e.g. inducing) the immune response of newborns. Thus, agonists of TLR8 serve as both vaccine adjuvants and as adjunctive therapies for acute infection in newborns, preferably the agonist is a TLR8-selective agonist. The immune response induced, or enhanced, in the neonatal host can be, for example, a cytokine immune response and/or a humoral immune response (e.g., antigen-specific).

The invention relates to the therapeutic use of stabilized oligoribonucleotides as immune modulatory agents for immune therapy applications. Specifically, the invention provides RNA based oligoribonucleotides with improved nuclease and RNase stability and that have immune modulatory activity through TLR7 and/or TLR8.

The invention relates to the therapeutic use of novel stabilized oligoribonucleotides as immune modulatory agents for immune therapy applications. Specifically, the invention provides novel RNA-based oligoribonucleotides with improved nuclease and RNase stability and that have immune modulatory activity through TLR7 and/or TLR8.

The present invention relates to novel screening methods for identifying agonists and antagonists of toll-like receptor (TLR) 7, TLR8 or TLR9. Methods are disclosed for identifying agonists and antagonists of TLR7, TLR8 or TLR9 using mutant TLR proteins containing deletions in one or more extracellular leucine rich regions (LRRs). Such agonists and antagonists have utility in the prevention, treatment and/or cure of various diseases and conditions, including cancer, virus infection, allergy, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Benzazepine compounds, conjugates, and pharmaceutical compositions for use in the treatment of disease, such as cancer, are disclosed herein. The disclosed benzazepine compounds are useful, among other things, in the treating of cancer and modulating TLR8. Additionally, benzazepine compounds incorporated into a conjugate with an antibody construct are described herein.

Toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8)-specific inhibitors and methods of using the same in individuals having an autoimmune disease or an inflammatory disorder.

The present invention relates to methods for predicting the response to treatment with an agonist of TLR7, or an agonist of TLR8 or an anti-cancer agent for treating cancer, in particular non-small cell lung cancer comprising the step of detecting the expression of TLR7 or TLR8 in cancer cells of said patient.

The present invention relates to a process for phospholipidation of imidazoquinolines and oxoadenines. More particularly, the present invention relates to a high-yielding and scalable procedure for the phospholipidation of imidazoquinolines and oxoadenines which obviates the need to isolate unstable phosphoramidite intermediates. This process may be used for the phospholipidation of toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7)-active and toll-like receptor (TLR8)-active imidazoquinolines and oxoadenines.
