| Abstract | Although recombinant adenovirus vectors offer a very efficient means by which to transfer genetic information into cells in vivo, antigen-dependent immunity limits the duration of gene expression and prevents retreatment. Recombinant murine CTLA4Ig and anti-CD40 ligand antibody block costimulatory interactions between T cells and antigen presenting cells. We previously reported that murine CTLA4Ig prolongs adenoviral-mediated gene transfer, but does not allow for secondary expression after readministration of the vector. In studies described here, when anti-CD40 ligand and recombinant murine CTLA4Ig were coadministered around the time of primary vector administration (i) prolonged adenovirus-mediated gene expression (length of experiment up to 1 year) from the livers of >90% of treated mice was observed, and (ii) secondary adenovirus-mediated gene transfer was achieved in >50% of the mice even after the immunosuppressive effects of these agents were no longer present. Nearly two-thirds of these mice had persistent secondary gene expression lasting for at least 200–300 days. Neither agent alone allowed transduction after secondary vector administration. Treated mice had decreased immune responses to the vector as shown by markedly decreased production of neutralizing antibodies, diminished spleen proliferation responses and IFN-γ production in vitro, and reduced T cell infiltrates in the liver. These results suggest that it may be possible to obtain persistence as well as secondary adenoviral-mediated gene transfer with transient immunosuppressive therapies. |

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.
