| Abstract | We developed a new reporter cell line for human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) drug susceptibility testing. This cell line was obtained by incorporating the luciferase reporter gene under the control of an HCMV-specific promoter into the genome of astrocytoma cells (U373MG). We then used our reporter cell line to evaluate phenotypic changes conferred by the sequential emergence of HCMV UL54 and UL97 mutations following long-term drug exposure. The laboratory strain AD169 was passaged in the presence of increasing concentrations of ganciclovir (one viral line) or foscarnet (two viral lines). Resistant viruses were plaque purified at five different concentrations of ganciclovir and at three different concentrations of foscarnet. In addition to the previously described M460I and L595S UL97 mutations and the L545S and V812L UL54 mutations, exposition to ganciclovir (up to 3,000 μM) resulted in the selection of two unreported UL54 mutations (P829S and D879G). Passages in the presence of foscarnet (up to 3,000 μM) resulted in the selection of seven not previously described UL54 mutations (K500N, T552N, S585A, N757K, L802V, L926V, and L957F) in addition to the N408D mutation that has been associated with ganciclovir and cidofovir resistance. Long-term exposure of HCMV to either ganciclovir or foscarnet ultimately resulted in the selection of multiple UL54 mutations that conferred high levels of resistance to all approved HCMV DNA polymerase inhibitors, i.e., ganciclovir, cidofovir, and foscarnet. Emergence of each viral mutation conferred stepwise increases in drug 50% inhibitory concentrations that could be objectively measured with the new reporter cell assay. |

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.
