| Abstract | Dendritic cells (DC) in nonlymphoid organs can internalize and process foreign antigens before migrating to secondary lymphoid tissues to initiate primary immune responses. However, there is little information on which stimuli promote migration of DC from the tissues. Systemic administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which induces in vivo production of cytokines, led to a reduction in the numbers of major histocompatibility complex class II-positive (Ia+) leukocytes in mouse hearts and kidneys: > 95% of DC were depleted 1-3 d after injection of 50 micrograms LPS. Several lines of evidence indicated that this response was due to migration of DC rather than loss of Ia expression or cytotoxic effects. In skin of treated mice, the number of Ia+ epidermal Langerhans' cells (LC) was reduced, and "cords" of Ia+ leukocytes became evident in the dermis. The latter cells expressed little NLDC145 and may have originated from recruited or resident DC progenitors. Systemic administration of recombinant tumor necrosis factor (rhTNF)-alpha resulted in a decrease in numbers of Ia+ cells in heart and kidney and of epidermal LC, and it also induced dermal cords. Administration of a rh-interleukin (IL)-1 resulted in a decrease in Ia+ cells only in renal medulla, appeared to activate a subset of epidermal LC, and induced dermal cords. Similar microgram doses of rhIL-2 had no obvious effect. Treatment with a neutralizing anti-TNF antiserum before LPS administration inhibited the depletion of LC from skin but not from heart or kidney. Therefore, TNF-alpha and IL-1 alpha may promote DC migration from nonlymphoid tissues and may have differential effects on different DC populations, but it is unclear whether they act on DC directly or indirectly (e.g., via other cytokines). |

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.
