TLR7/8 Agonist - Imidazoquinoline compound

R848 (Resiquimod) is an imidazoquinoline compound with potent anti-viral activity. This low molecular weight synthetic molecule activates immune cells via the TLR7/TLR8 MyD88-dependent signaling pathway [1, 2].

Recently, R848 was shown to trigger NF-κB activation in cells expressing murine TLR8 when combined with poly(dT) [3].

Unlike other commercially available R848 preparations, InvivoGen's R848 is water soluble, validated for TLR7/8 potency and tested to ensure the absence of TLR2 or TLR4 contamination.
