| Abstract | Listeria monocytogenes can be used to deliver protein antigens or DNA and mRNA encoding such antigens directly into the cytosol of host cells because of its intracellular lifestyle. In this study, we compare the in vivo efficiencies of activation of antigen-specific CD8 and CD4 T cells when the antigen is secreted by L. monocytogenes or when antigen-encoding plasmid DNA or mRNA is released by self-destructing strains of L. monocytogenes. Infection of mice with self-destructing L. monocytogenes carriers delivering mRNA that encodes a nonsecreted form of ovalbumin (OVA) resulted in a significant OVA-specific CD8 T-cell response. In contrast, infection with L. monocytogenes delivering OVA-encoding DNA failed to generate specific T cells. Secretion of OVA by the carrier bacteria yielded the strongest immune response involving OVA-specific CD8 and CD4 T cells. In addition, we investigated the antigen delivery capacity of a self-destructing, virulence-attenuated L. monocytogenes aroA/B mutant. In contrast to the wild-type strain, this mutant exhibited only marginal liver toxicity when high doses (5 × 107 CFU per animal administered intravenously) were used, and it was also able to deliver sufficient amounts of secreted OVA into mice. Therefore, the results presented here could lay the groundwork for a rational combination of L. monocytogenes as an attenuated carrier for the delivery of protein and nucleic acid vaccines in novel vaccination strategies. |

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.
