| Abstract | Mortality from measles virus (MV) infection is caused mostly by secondary infections associated with a pronounced immunosuppression. Dendritic cells (DCs) represent a major target of MV and could be involved in immunosuppression. In this study, human monocyte-derived DCs were used to demonstrate that DC apoptosis in MV-infected DC–T-cell cocultures is Fas mediated, whereas apoptotic T cells could not be rescued by blocking the Fas pathway. Two novel consequences of DC apoptosis after MV infection were demonstrated. (i) Fas-mediated apoptosis of DCs facilitates MV release, while CD40 activation enhances MV replication in DCs. Indeed, detailed studies of infectious MV release and intracellular MV nucleoprotein (NP) showed that inhibition of CD40-CD40L ligand interaction blocks NP synthesis. We conclude that the CD40 ligand expressed by activated T cells first enhances MV replication in DCs, and then Fas ligand produced by activated T cells induces Fas-mediated apoptosis of DCs, thus facilitating MV release. (ii) Not only MV-infected DCs but also bystander uninfected DCs undergo a maturation process confirmed by CD1a, CD40, CD80, CD86, CD83, and major histocompatibility complex type II labeling. The bystander maturation effect results from contact and/or engulfment of MV-induced apoptotic DCs by uninfected DCs. A model is proposed to explain how both a specific immune response and immunosuppression can simultaneously occur after MV infection through Fas-mediated apoptosis and CD40 activation of DCs. |

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.
