| Abstract | We studied the effects of crude mouse lymphokines and cloned mouse interferon-gamma on the interaction of Rickettsia prowazekii with mouse macrophage-like RAW264.7 cells. Treatment of RAW264.7 cells with lymphokines before infection, after infection, or both before and after infection with R. prowazekii led to killing of a substantial proportion of the RAW264.7 cells. Such cytotoxicity required both lymphokines and viable R. prowazekii and did not occur in mouse fibroblastic L929 cells. Untreated cultures of RAW264.7 cells supported good growth of the Breinl strain of R. prowazekii, but in lymphokine-treated cultures, little or no rickettsial growth occurred in the cells that survived the cytotoxic reaction. In addition, treatment of RAW264.7 cells with lymphokines before rickettsial infection was associated with suppression of the initial infection. The effects of cloned mouse interferon-gamma were similar to the effects of crude mouse lymphokines. Assessment of cytotoxicity, inhibition of the initial infection, and inhibition of rickettsial growth in RAW264.7 cells pretreated with various concentrations of interferon-gamma indicated that the effects of the lymphokines could be explained by the interferon-gamma that was present in these preparations. Treatment of RAW264.7 cells with interferon-gamma makes them unsuitable host cells for R. prowazekii. |

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.
