NCIt definition : The sulfate salt form of resiquimod, a toll-like receptor type 7 and 8 (TLR7/8) agonist,
with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration,
resiquimod targets, binds to and activates TLR7 and 8, thereby activating TLR7/8-mediated
pathways. This stimulates the maturation and activation of antigen-presenting cells
(APCs), including dendritic cells (DCs). Activation of DCs results in the production
of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and the activation of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL)-
and B-lymphocyte-mediated immune responses. This may lead to tumor cell lysis. TLR7
and 8, members of the TLR family, play fundamental roles in the activation of the
innate immune system, myeloid cell responses and tumor antigen presentation.;
