| Abstract | Biologically functional clade C envelope (Env) glycoproteins from the chronically (donor) and newly (recipient) infected partners of four heterosexual transmission pairs in Zambia were cloned and characterized previously. In each case, the donor viral quasispecies contained Envs that were resistant to autologous neutralization by contemporaneous plasma, while the recipient Envs were sensitive to neutralizing antibodies in this donor plasma sample. The donor Envs also varied in length, glycosylation, and amino acid sequence of the V1V2 hypervariable domain of gp120, while the recipient Envs were much more homogeneous. To assess the contribution of V1V2 to the neutralization phenotype of the donor Envs, V1V2 domains from neutralization-sensitive recipient Envs were replaced with donor V1V2 domains, and the autologous neutralization sensitivities of the chimeric Envs were evaluated using a virus-pseudotyping assay. Long donor V1V2 domains regulated sensitivity to autologous neutralization, although the effect was dependent on the Env background. Short donor V1V2 domains did not confer neutralization resistance. Primary sequence differences in V2 were also found to influence neutralization sensitivity in one set of recipient Envs. The results demonstrate that expansion of the V1V2 domain is one pathway to escape from autologous neutralization in subtype C Envs. However, V1V2-independent mechanisms of resistance also exist, suggesting that escape is multifaceted in chronic subtype C infection. |

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.
