| Abstract | In this study, we investigated the effect of a lentivirus-induced interferon (LV-IFN) on the interaction of caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus and its host cell, the monocyte-macrophage. LV-IFN was produced in culture supernatant 48 h after adding fresh goat lymphocytes to caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus-infected goat macrophages. The culture supernatant contained IFN activity at a titer of 1:360 as assayed by inhibition of vesicular stomatitis virus-induced lysis of fibroblasts. LV-IFN inhibited in vitro monocyte proliferation and maturation of monocytes to macrophages. Nevertheless, treated monocytes produced prostaglandin E2, a cytokine generally produced by activated macrophages. By inhibiting the maturation of monocytes to the more permissive macrophage, LV-IFN indirectly downregulated virus replication. The cytokine also had a direct inhibitory effect on virus gene expression in already mature macrophages. In these cells, LV-IFN blocked the viral life cycle at the level of transcription. Finally, LV-IFN blocked fusion between infected macrophages and highly permissive goat synovial membrane cells. By restricting macrophage maturation, viral replication, and cell fusion, LV-IFN may downregulate the net rate of virus replication in vivo. These functions may contribute to the persistence of the virus in the host by reducing the expression of the viral genome. |

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.
