| Abstract | Thalidomide is an anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory drug that is the treatment of choice for erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL), an inflammatory cutaneous and systemic complication of multibacillary leprosy. Its use in leprosy and other conditions is controversial due to its teratogenic effects. Fifty years after the development of thalidomide, its action mechanism is still not well understood. In the present study we analyzed the in vitro effect of thalidomide on global gene expression in cultured human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) of normal donors. We normalized the background subtracted spotted cDNA microarray data using a locally weighted linear regression and modeled its residual by a two-step analysis of variance to detect differentially expressed PBMC human genes in response to thalidomide. Using the full set of spotted genes, 13 genes were identified as differentially expressed genes. A reduced set was derived with a direct simple filtering approach and this set resulted in eight differentially expressed genes. Among these 21 genes, 15 are involved in the immune regulation processes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
