| Abstract | Multiple myelomas produce tumor-specific antigen (TSA) in the form of idiotype (Id) on monoclonal Ig. CD4+ T cells can recognize Id-peptide on MHC class II molecules and protect against challenges with MOPC315 cells, which are, as common for myelomas, class II-negative. The present study explains these previous results by demonstrating that Id can be transferred from myeloma cells to antigen-presenting cells (APC), which present processed Id-peptide on their class II molecules to Id-specific T cell receptor-transgenic (TCR-TG) CD4+ T cells. Id-primed tumor APC were heterogeneous, the majority being dendritic cells with class II+, CD11b+ CD11c+ CD40+ CD80+ CD86+ markers. The APC were localized beneath CD31+ endothelial cells of tumor microvessels, and their frequency declined with tumor progression. The APC could stimulate Id-specific naive TCR-TG, short-term polarized TCR-TG, and cloned CD4+ T cells to proliferate and produce cytokines in vitro. Furthermore, small MOPC315 tumors established in Id-specific TCR-TG mice contained clusters of activated (CD69+CD25+) and proliferating (BrdUrd+) Id-specific transgenic CD4+ blasts. The activated Id-specific T cells were located adjacent to Id-primed dendritic cells in the tumor. Thus, a TSA can be transferred in vivo from myeloma, and possibly other types of cancer cells to APC for MHC class II presentation to CD4+ T cells. |

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.
