| Abstract | Apoptosis continues to be controversial in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-induced pathogenesis. To investigate whether apoptosis occurs with HIV exposure with or without subsequent infection, levels of apoptosis were measured in cord blood lymphocytes (CBL) from seven newborns delivered to HIV-infected mothers and seven normal, unexposed newborns. Live cells were costained with antibodies to cell surface markers and the DNA dye 7-amino actinomycin D to immunophenotype apoptotic CBL subsets. Apoptosis was measured in fresh and cultured CBL in the presence and absence of CD3 T-cell receptor stimulation. Compared to the CD4+ CBL from HIV-unexposed newborns, CD4+ CBL from six HIV-exposed, noninfected newborns demonstrated significantly greater apoptosis after overnight culture even in the absence of CD3 stimulation. Compared to HIV-unexposed controls, CD8+ CBL from the six HIV-exposed newborns also demonstrated increased levels of apoptosis after overnight culture without stimulation. The one HIV-infected newborn in this study showed the highest levels of CD4+ and CD8+ apoptotic CBL. The data suggest that levels of apoptosis are increased in infants in association with HIV infection. Furthermore, CD4+ and CD8+ cord blood lymphocytes from HIV-exposed infants behaved differently than T lymphocytes from either normal, unexposed infants or an HIV-infected infant. These results suggest that exposure to HIV or HIV-induced factors increases the levels of apoptosis in CBL. |

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.
