          CGAMP         |  
      | Vaxjo ID | 297 |  
      | Vaccine Adjuvant Name | CGAMP |  
      | Alternative Names | cyclic GMP-AMP |  
      | Adjuvant VO ID | VO_0005591 |  
      | Description | novel adjuvant produced by binding of cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS) to DNA sequence that produces a mixed Th1/Th2 response |  
      | Stage of Development | Research |  
      | Host Species for Testing | Mouse |  
      | Structure | cyclic GMP-AMP dinucleotide, which comprises a 2'-5' and a 3'-5' phosphodiester linkage |  
      | Function | innate immune activation, Directly binds to STING to induce the production of type I IFN and inflammatory cytokines. |
