| Abstract | Transfection of a plasmid encoding the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA2) gene confers resistance to the antiproliferative effect of alpha interferon (IFN-alpha) in EBV-negative U968 cells (P. Aman and A. von Gabain, EMBO J. 9:147-152, 1990). We studied the expression of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) in two pairs of Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines, differing in the expression of the putative immortalizing gene of EBV, EBNA2. In EBNA2-expressing cells, the induction of four ISGs by IFN-alpha was strongly reduced or, in some cases, abolished. Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene constructs containing different IFN-stimulated response elements were transfected into EBNA2-negative and EBNA2-positive cells. Induction of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase activity by IFN was impaired in EBNA2-positive cells. Also, a reporter gene construct driven by an IFN-gamma-sensitive promoter element was affected. However, as revealed by gel shift assays, EBNA2-positive and EBNA2-negative cells exhibited a nearly identical pattern of IFN-stimulated response element-binding proteins. Most important, activation of the factor ISGF-3, which previously has been shown to be required and sufficient for transcriptional activation of IFN-induced genes, was not inhibited in IFN-resistant cells expressing EBNA2. The mechanism of the EBNA2-related IFN resistance seems to be distinct both from the resistance mediated by hepatitis virus and adenovirus gene products and from the IFN resistance in Daudi cell variants. In these three cases, the transcriptional block of IFN-induced genes is due to inhibition of ISGF-3 activation and binding. Our data suggest that the EBNA2-related IFN resistance in Burkitt's lymphoma cells acts downstream of the activation of ISGF-3. |

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.
