| Abstract | Although nucleotide analogs like bromodeoxyuridine have been extensively used to estimate cell proliferation in vivo, precise dynamic parameters are scarce essentially because of the lack of adequate mathematical models. Besides recent developments on T cell dynamics, the turnover rates of B lymphocytes are largely unknown particularly in the context of a virally induced pathological disorder. Here, we aim to resolve this issue by determining the rates of cell proliferation and death during the chronic stage of the bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infection, called bovine persistent lymphocytosis (PL). Our methodology is based on direct intravenous injection of bromodeoxyuridine in association with subsequent flow cytometry. By this in vivo approach, we show that the death rate of PL B lymphocytes is significantly reduced (average death rate, 0.057 day−1 versus 0.156 day−1 in the asymptomatic controls). Concomitantly, proliferation of the PL cells is also significantly restricted compared to the controls (average proliferation rate, 0.0046 day−1 versus 0.0085 day−1). We conclude that bovine PL is characterized by a decreased cell turnover resulting both from a reduction of cell death and an overall impairment of proliferation. The cell dynamic parameters differ from those measured in sheep, an experimental model for BLV infection. Finally, cells expressing p24 major capsid protein ex vivo were not BrdU positive, suggesting an immune selection against proliferating virus-positive lymphocytes. Based on a comparative leukemia approach, these observations might help to understand cell dynamics during other lymphoproliferative disease such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia or human T-cell lymphotropic virus-induced adult T-cell leukemia in humans. |

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.
