Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and retinoic acid-inducible gene I-like helicases (R-LHs) are two major machineries recognizing RNA virus infection of innate immune cells. Intracellular signaling for TLRs and RLHs is mediated by their cytoplasmic adaptors, i.e., MyD88 or TRIF and IPS-1, respectively. In the present study, we investigated the contributions of TLRs and RLHs to the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response by using lymphocytoid choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) as a model virus. The generation of virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes was critically dependent on MyD88 but not on IPS-1. Type I interferons (IFNs) are known to be important for the development of the CTL response to LCW infection. Serum levels of type I IFNs and proinflammatory cytokines were mainly dependent on the presence of MyD88, although IPS-1(-/-) mice showed a decrease in IFN-alpha levels but not in IFN-beta and proinflammatory cytokine levels. Analysis of Ifna6(+/GFP) reporter mice revealed that plasmacytoid dendritic cells (DCs) are the major source of IFN-alpha in LCMV infection. MyD88(-/-) mice were highly susceptible to LCMV infection in vivo. These results suggest that recognition of LCMV by plasmacytoid DCs via TLRs is responsible for the production of type I IFNs in vivo. Furthermore, the activation of a MyD88-dependent innate mechanism induces a CTL response, which eventually leads to virus elimination.
