The TLR9 Ligand, CpG-ODN, Induces Protection against Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury via Activation of PI3K/Akt Signaling [Stroke]

Conclusion
CpG-ODN significantly reduces cerebral I/R injury via a PI3K/Akt-dependent mechanism. Our data also indicate that CpG-ODN may be useful in the therapy of cerebral I/R injury.
