| Abstract | The ability to elicit protective immune responses after intranasal immunization with rotavirus particles, either with or without the attenuated Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin LT(R192G) as an adjuvant, was examined in the adult mouse model. BALB/c mice were administered one or two inoculations of psoralen/UV-inactivated, triple-layered (tl) or double-layered (dl) purified rotavirus particles. Four weeks after immunization, mice were challenged with the murine rotavirus strain EDIM, and the shedding of rotavirus antigen was quantified. Rotaviruses used for immunization included EDIM and heterotypic simian (RRV), bovine (WC3), and human (89-12) strains. tl EDIM stimulated both systemic and intestinal rotavirus antibody responses and complete protection with as little as one 1-μg dose. Inclusion of LT(R192G) (10 μg) significantly increased rotavirus antibody responses and reduced antigen concentrations needed for full protection. Both dl EDIM and heterotypic dl and tl particles stimulated protection, but they did so less than tl EDIM at comparable concentrations, either with or without LT(R192G). When B-cell-deficient μMt mice were immunized with tl EDIM particles, protection was reduced to levels similar to those induced with dl EDIM and heterotypic particles in BALB/c mice. However, dl EDIM particles induced similar levels of protection in both mouse strains. The protection stimulated by tl or dl EDIM particles was not diminished by CD8 cell depletion prior to immunization in either strain of mice. These results indicate that tl EDIM induced immunity at least partially through responses to its outer capsid proteins, presumably by stimulation of serotype-specific neutralizing antibody. In contrast, the other particles stimulated protection primarily by an antibody-independent mechanism. Finally, depletion of CD8 cells had no effect on protection by either mechanism. |

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.
