| Abstract | Phagocytosis of Candida albicans by either primary bone marrow-derived mouse macrophages or RAW 264.7 cells upregulated transcription of PRA1, which encodes a cell wall/membrane-associated antigen previously described as a fibrinogen binding protein. However, a pra1 null mutant was still able to bind fibrinogen, showing that Pra1p is not uniquely required for fibrinogen binding. As well, Pra1 tagged with green fluorescent protein did not colocalize with AlexaFluor 546-labeled human fibrinogen, and while PRA1 expression was inhibited when Candida was grown in fetal bovine serum-containing medium, Candida binding to fibrinogen was activated by these conditions. Therefore, it appears that Pra1p can play at most a minor role in fibrinogen binding to C. albicans. PRA1 gene expression is induced in vitro by alkaline pH, and therefore its activation in phagosomes suggested that phagosome maturation was suppressed by the presence of Candida cells. LysoTracker red-labeled organelles failed to fuse with phagosomes containing live Candida, while phagosomes containing dead Candida underwent a normal phagosome-to-phagolysosome maturation. Immunofluorescence staining with the early/recycling endosomal marker transferrin receptor (CD71) suggested that live Candida may escape macrophage destruction through the inhibition of phagolysosomal maturation. |

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.
