| Abstract | Cell-mediated autoimmunity has been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of vascular cell injury in Takayasu's arteritis. To clarify the immunological mechanisms involved, we examined the expression of a cytolytic factor, perforin in infiltrating cells of aortic tissue samples from seven patients with Takayasu's arteritis. We also examined the expression of a 65-kD heat-shock protein (HSP-65), human leukocyte antigen classes I and II, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 in the aortic tissue. Immunohistochemical studies showed that the infiltrating cells mainly consisted of gamma delta T lymphocytes, natural killer cells, macrophages, cytotoxic T lymphocytes and T helper cells, and that perforin was expressed in gamma delta T lymphocytes, natural killer cells, and cytotoxic T lymphocytes. In situ hybridization analysis also revealed expression of perforin mRNA in the infiltrating cells. Immunoelectron microscopic studies demonstrated that the infiltrating cells released massive amounts of perforin directly onto the surface of arterial vascular cells. We also found that expression of HSP-65, human leukocyte antigen classes I and II, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 was strongly induced in the aortic tissue and might facilitate the recognition, adhesion and cytotoxicity of the infiltrating killer lymphocytes. These findings provide the first direct evidence that the infiltrating cells in the aortic tissue mainly consist of killer cells, and strongly suggest that these killer cells, especially gamma delta T lymphocytes, may recognize HSP-65 and play a critical role in the vascular cell injury of Takayasu's arteritis by releasing perforin. |

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.
