Poly ICLC is an immunostimulant. It is polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) mixed with the stabilizers carboxymethylcellulose and polylysine.[1] It is under trial for use in cancer.[2]
Poly I:C is a ligand for toll like receptor-3, which usually triggers on the structurally similar double-stranded RNA present in some viruses.[1]
