| Abstract | Intratumoral infusion, a routine method for local gene delivery in solid tumors, may cause a systemic dissemination of gene vectors. This is because tumor vessels are intrinsically leaky and intratumoral injection can also result in damage of tumor vessels. To this end, we investigated the extent of virus dissemination during and after local infusion of adenoviral vectors into a murine adenocarcinoma (4T1) transplanted in mice. Three different vectors were used in this study, they contained genes encoding either mouse interleukin-12 (IL-12), luciferase, or enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP). The virus distribution in the body was determined as the transgene expression in normal and tumor tissues. Our data demonstrated that a large fraction of injected viral vectors disseminated into liver tissues. To reduce the dissemination problem, we developed a novel method for viral vector delivery based on an alginate solution. We observed that this vehicle could significantly reduce virus dissemination without compromising the therapeutic efficacy of adenoviral vectors. Taken together, the data suggests that systemic virus dissemination is a serious problem in local gene therapy in tumors and that the dissemination can be significantly reduced by an alginate-based polymeric vehicle. |

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.
