All innate receptors studied above are characteristic of neutrophils and of monocytes more generally [196], so that the neutrophilia and production of NETs that characterize severe COVID-19 follow naturally from the stimulation of many virus- (especially TLR3, TLR7, NLRP3 and RIG-1) and bacteria-associated (especially TLR2, TLR4, NOD1 and NOD2) innate receptors simultaneously. The gene discussed is NOD1; the disease is COVID-19.
