| Abstract | In vitro CR1-dependent phagocytosis of C3b-coated erythrocytes, by monocytes and PMN, was found to be significantly decreased in SLE patients. This was in many cases related to a specific defect of CR1 receptors, since the FcR-ingestion of EIgG was normal. On the other hand, CR1 levels of PMN stimulated by FMLP were also found to be decreased in SLE patients, while both the expression of circulating PMN (cells isolated at 4 degrees C) and the total cellular CR1 content were normal. On the basis of the available data, we propose that the impaired phagocytosis is due to a functional defect of CR1 or a defective anchorage of the receptor to the plasma membrane, possibly related to the decreased capacity of CR1 to be up-regulated by FMLP. To study the importance of the genetic background in the CR1 abnormalities, the families of 22 young SLE patients, in which the onset of the disease had occurred before the age of 15, were studied. The expression of CR1 on erythrocytes, and the total CR1 content of PMN, in parents and siblings of these patients did not differ significantly from normal controls. By contrast, the ingestion of EIgGC3b by PMN from healthy relatives of these patients was decreased (65% of the normal mean of PI), while EIgG phagocytosis was normal. A relation between this CR1 functional defect and the familial occurrence of autoimmune disorders is therefore possible. |

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.
