| Abstract | Gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) is an important mediator of natural resistance of mice to Salmonella species during the first week of infection, when it restricts the rate of intracellular growth of the bacteria but does not lead to their killing (A. Muotiala and P. H. Mäkelä, Microb. Pathog. 8:135-141, 1990). We used the experimental mouse salmonellosis model to investigate the role of IFN-gamma in the later stages of a sublethal infection and the ensuing specific immunity. When anti-IFN-gamma was administered starting 6 days after challenge, it did not prevent the cessation of intracellular bacterial growth and the formation of the plateau stage in the second week of infection. In addition, anti-IFN-gamma given 14 and 16 days after challenge did not alter the elimination of the bacteria in the clearance stage in the third week of infection. When mice immunized 2 months previously with live vaccine were infected with virulent salmonellae, depletion of IFN-gamma enhanced the early growth of the bacteria in the same manner as that seen in naive mice. However, when the immunized mice were infected with attenuated aroA bacteria, their clearance started immediately and was unaffected by IFN-gamma depletion, demonstrating that IFN-gamma is not required for the clearance. We conclude that IFN-gamma restricts the rate of intracellular bacterial multiplication in the first week of Salmonella infection in both naive and immune mice but is not a mediator of bacterial clearance in either naive or immunized mice. |

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.
