| Abstract | A necessary role for cytotoxic T lymphocytes in protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) has been suggested by studies of the β2-microglobulin-deficient mouse, which is unable to present antigens through MHC class I and class I-like molecules and invariably succumbs early after infection. To identify the relative contributions of distinct putative MHC class I-dependent cell populations in protection against tuberculosis, we compared a variety of gene-disrupted mouse strains for susceptibility to MTB infection. Among the strains tested, the most susceptible mice, as measured by survival time and bacterial loads, were the β2-microglobulin−/−, followed by transporter associated with antigen processing deficient (TAP1−/−), CD8α−/−, perforin−/−, and CD1d−/− mice. These findings indicated that (i) CD8+ T cells contribute to protection against MTB, and their protective activity is only partially dependent on perforin; (ii) β2-microglobulin-dependent T cell populations distinct from CD8+ T cells also contribute to anti-MTB immunity; and (iii) protective immune mechanisms are predominantly TAP-dependent, although TAP-independent mechanisms also contribute to protection. Because CD1d-deficient animals were fully resistant to MTB, other TAP-independent mechanisms must contribute to protection. We suggest here that both classical and nonclassical MHC class I-restricted T cells, distinct from CD1d-restricted cells, may be involved in protective immune responses against tuberculosis. |

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.
