| Abstract | The CD8+-T-cell response to infection with Listeria monocytogenes consists of expansion, contraction, and memory phases. The transition between expansion and contraction is reported to occur on different days postinfection with virulent (8 to 9 days) and attenuated (ΔactA) (7 days) L. monocytogenes strains. We hypothesized that differences in the infectious courses, and therefore antigen (Ag) display, determine the precise time of the expansion/contraction transition in response to these infections. To test this, we infected BALB/c mice with 0.1 50% lethal dose of ΔactA or virulent L. monocytogenes and measured bacterial numbers, Ag display, and Ag-specific CD8+-T-cell responses on various days after infection. We found that bacterial numbers and Ag display peaked between 12 and 36 h and between 36 and 60 h after infection with ΔactA and virulent L. monocytogenes strains, respectively. Infection with ΔactA L. monocytogenes resulted in a sharp peak in the Ag-specific CD8+-T-cell response on day 7, while infection with virulent L. monocytogenes yielded a prolonged peak with equivalent numbers of Ag-specific CD8+ T cells on days 6, 7, and 8 after infection. Truncating virulent infection with antibiotics on day 1 or 2 after infection resulted in a shift in the expansion/contraction transition from day 8 to day 7 after infection. However, antibiotic treatment beginning on day 3, after the peak of virulent L. monocytogenes infection and Ag display, had no effect upon the magnitude or timing of the CD8+-T-cell response. These results demonstrate a direct relationship between the course of infection and Ag display and that the timing of these events is important in shaping the T-cell response to infection. |

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.
