| Abstract | β2 integrins are of critical importance for leukocyte extravasation through vascular endothelia and for T cell activation. To elucidate the role of β2 integrins in T cell–mediated immune responses, allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), irritant dermatitis, and delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) were assessed in mice lacking the β2 integrin subunit, CD18. ACD and DTH responses, but not edema formation, were severely suppressed in CD18 –/– mice. Extravasation of CD18 –/– T cells into eczematous skin lesions was greatly impaired, whereas migration of Langerhans cell precursors and dendritic cells was normal in CD18 –/– mice. CD18 –/–lymph nodes (LNs) contained an abnormal population of CD3–CD44high lymphocytes and showed evidence of widespread T cell activation. T cells from regional LNs of sensitized CD18 –/– mice proliferated in response to hapten challenge, and subcutaneous injection of sensitized syngeneic LN cells directly into ears of hapten-challenged naive recipients restored the defective ACD in CD18 –/– mice, suggesting that CD18 is not required for priming of naive T cells but is indispensable for T cell extravasation. Thus, a dysfunction of T cells, in addition to granulocytes, may contribute to the pathophysiology of leukocyte adhesion deficiency type I, which arises from mutations in the human CD18 gene. |

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.
