Radial arm maze (working memory assessment). TLR9 stimulation was effective at improving working memory in 3xTg-AD mice in both study groups. The CpG ODN-treated groups were better at navigating the maze than the vehicle-treated Tg mice. Significant differences were observed with CpG ODN-treated Tg mice performing comparably to their Wt littermates. ( A ) 7–20 months: Two-way repeated-measures ANOVA, group (treatment) effect, p < 0.0001; days effect, p < 0.0001; interaction (group vs days), p = 0.968. Bonferroni’s post hoc test revealed Tg-CpG vs Tg-VEH, p < 0.0001; Tg-CpG vs Wt, p = 0.16; Tg-VEH vs Wt, p < 0.0001. ( B ) 11–18 months: Two-way repeated-measures ANOVA, group (treatment) effect, p < 0.0001; days effect, p < 0.0001; interaction (group vs days), p = 0.795. Bonferroni’s post hoc test revealed Tg-CpG vs Tg-VEH, p < 0.001; Tg-CpG vs Wt, p = 0.2; Tg-VEH vs Wt, p < 0.001.
