| Abstract | Studies of mouse models of endotoxemia and sepsis with gram-negative bacteria have shown that the host response is genetically controlled. Mice infected with the gram-negative bacterium Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium exhibit marked genetic differences in disease manifestation, and the wild-derived strain Mus musculus molossinus MOLF/Ei is extremely susceptible to S. enterica serovar Typhimurium. The kinetics of bacterial proliferation within the liver and the spleen and histological examination of tissue sections have suggested that MOLF/Ei mice do not succumb to infection because of overwhelming bacterial growth in the reticuloendothelial organs or massive tissue necrosis, as observed in other Salmonella-susceptible strains. MOLF/Ei mice respond normally to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vivo and in vitro, as determined by the production of tumor necrosis factor alpha and spleen cell mitogenesis. However, they have a unique cytokine profile in response to infection compared to that observed for other Salmonella-susceptible mice. There was increased expression of mRNA of the interleukin-1α (IL-1α) and IL-1β genes as the infection in the spleens and livers of MOLF/Ei mice progressed. Despite the fact that MOLF/Ei mice have the ability to respond to LPS and the fact that there are significant increases in IL-1α and IL-1β mRNA, Nos2 in the spleen is not upregulated and nitrite production by spleen cells is reduced. At the central level, the inflammatory response is characterized by strong upregulation of the inhibitory factor kappa B alpha and Toll-like receptor 2 genes, two genes known to be regulated by LPS and IL-1 in the brain. The high levels of IL-1 expression in the spleens and livers of MOLF/Ei mice may have important implications for the activation of peripheral and central innate immune mechanisms. |

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.
