| Abstract | Transplantations of fully allogeneic, autoimmune-resistant T-cell-depleted marrow (TCDM) plus syngeneic, autoimmune-prone TCDM into lethally irradiated BXSB mice were carried out to investigate the ability of the mixed bone marrow transplantation (BMT) to prevent development of autoimmune disease and, at the same time, to reconstitute fully the immunity functions of heavily irradiated BXSB recipients. Male BXSB mice were engrafted with mixed TCDM from both allogeneic, autoimmune-resistant BALB/c mice and syngeneic, autoimmune-prone BXSB mice. BMT with mixed TCDM from both resistant and susceptible strains of mice (mixed BMT) prolonged the median life span and inhibited development of glomerulonephritis in BXSB mice. BMT with mixed TCDM also prevented the formation of anti-DNA antibodies that is typically observed in male mice of this strain. Moreover, mixed BMT reconstituted primary antibody production in BXSB recipients, so that no annoying immunodeficiencies that are regularly observed in fully allogeneic chimeras were present in the recipient of the mixed TCDM. These findings indicate that transplanting allogeneic, autoimmune-resistant TCDM plus syngeneic, autoimmune-prone TCDM into lethally irradiated BXSB mice prevents development of autoimmune disease in this strain of mice. In addition, this dual BMT reconstitutes the immunity functions and avoids the immunodeficiencies that occur regularly in fully allogeneic chimeras after total-body irradiation. |

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.
