We report here that mice deficient in TLR9, the previously described receptor for ODN, still displayed partial ODN-induced protection.

ODN binding by RIG-I resulted in MAVS-dependent pneumonia-protective signaling events. While RIG-I is essential to native defenses against viral infections, we report that therapeutic RIG-I activation with ODN promoted pathogen killing and host survival following both viral and bacterial challenges. These data indicate that maximal ODN-induced pneumonia protection requires activation of both the TLR9/MyD88 and RIG-I/MAVS signaling pathways.
