The invention relates to the therapeutic use of oligonucleotides as
immunostimulatory agents in immunotherapy applications. More
particularly, the invention provides immunomers for use in methods for
generating an immune response or for treating a patient in need of
immunostimulation. The immunomers of the invention comprise at least two
oligonucleotides linked at their 3' ends, internucleoside linkages or
functionalized nucleobase or sugar to a non-nucleotidic linker, at least
one of the oligonucleotides being an immunostimulatory oligonucleotide
and having an accessible 5' end.
