| Abstract | Human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV3) is one of the major causes of bronchiolitis, pneumonia, and croup in newborns and infants. Cellular immunity involving major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and class II molecules plays an important role in controlling virus infection. Several viruses have been shown to down-regulate gamma interferon (IFN-γ)-mediated MHC class II expression. In this communication, we show that HPIV3 strongly inhibits the IFN-γ-induced MHC class II expression in HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cells. The culture supernatant of HPIV3-infected cells also inhibited IFN-γ-induced MHC class II expression, a phenomenon that was found to be due, in large part, to alpha/beta interferon (IFN-α/β). Expression of MHC class I and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 occurred efficiently in cells simultaneously infected with HPIV3 and treated with IFN-γ, indicating that the inhibitory effect of HPIV3 was specific to MHC class II. STAT1 activation was not affected by HPIV3 at early postinfection times but was partially inhibited at later times. These data suggested that the potent inhibition of MHC class II expression was, in major part, due to a defect downstream of STAT1 activation in the IFN-γ-induced MHC class II expression pathway. Class II transactivator (CIITA) is the unique mediator of IFN-γ-induced transcription from the MHC class II promoter. By RNase protection analysis, CIITA expression was found to be strongly inhibited in HPIV3-infected cells. The culture supernatant containing IFN-α/β, on the other hand, inhibited MHC class II expression without affecting STAT1 and CIITA expression. These data indicate that HPIV3 inhibits IFN-γ-induced MHC class II expression primarily by the viral gene products targeting CIITA and additionally by inducing IFN-α/β to target one or more steps further downstream. |

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.
