| Abstract | Yersinia enterocolitica invasin (Inv) protein confers internalization into and expression of proinflammatory cytokines by host cells. Both events require binding of Inv to β1 integrins, which initiates signaling cascades including activation of focal adhesion complexes, Rac1, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and NF-κB. Here we tested whether Inv might be suitable as a delivery molecule and adjuvant if used as a component of a vaccine. For this purpose, hybrid proteins composed of Inv and ovalbumin (OVA) were prepared, applied as a coating to microparticles, and used for vaccination. Fusion of OVA to Inv did not significantly disturb the ability of Inv to promote host cell binding, internalization, and interleukin-8 (IL-8) secretion when applied as a coating to microparticles. The microparticles were used for vaccination of mice adoptively transferred with OVA-specific T cells from OT-1 or DO11.10 mice. Administration of OVA-Inv-coated microparticles induced OVA-specific T-cell responses. OVA-specific CD4 T cells produced both gamma interferon (IFN-γ) and IL-4 as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Likewise, pronounced OVA-specific CD8 T-cell responses associated with IFN-γ production were observed. Together, these results suggest that Inv might be an attractive tool in vaccination as it confers both host cell uptake and adjuvant activity by engagement of β1 integrins of host cells, which leads to CD4 as well as CD8 T-cell responses. |

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.
