| Abstract | Murine cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and helper cells are H-2 antigen restricted in their specificity: recognition of foreign antigen by these cells requires the concomitant recognition of self-H-2 molecules. Which H-2 antigens T cells treat as "self" is determined by the particular H-2 antigens expressed on radioresistant cells of the thymus in which these T cells mature. Using tetraparental [(P1 + P2) leads to F1] radiation chimeras with in situ F1 thymuses, we have found that the H-2 genotype of the stem cells does not influence their H-2 restriction specificity. This has allowed us to use tetraparental chimeras that have been thymectomized and grafted with parental (P1, P2, or both) thymus lobes to study the requirements for H-2-restricted T--T interactions during CTL ontogeny and induction. In animals that have received thymus grafts of both parental origins, CTL display no preference for maturation within a syngeneic thymus graft, a finding that is not compatible with a suggested requirement for intrathymic H-2-restricted T--T interactions in the maturation of precursor CTL. We have also grafted thymectomized tetraparental radiation chimeras with thymus grafts from only one parent to compare the induction of P1 and P2 CTL in environments in which peripheral (extrathymic) T cell interactions are restricted to one H-2 haplotype. Again, we find no evidence for preferential induction of CTL precursors syngeneic to the thymus graft, contrary to expectation if CTL induction requires that T helper cells restricted to thymic H-2 antigens interact directly with precursor CTL. In those animals with one parental thymus graft, there is variability in the ratios of P1 and P2 cells induced with several antigens, a finding that may be indicative of an H-2-restricted suppression mechanism operating in the periphery. |

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.
