| Abstract | Lines of hemopoietic progenitor cells can be grown for prolonged or indefinite periods in vitro in the presence of a specific growth factor produced by activated T lymphocytes, persisting (P)-cell-stimulating factor (PSF). From such a PSF-dependent line, we report the emergence of variants that had concomitantly acquired both the capacity for autonomous growth in the absence of exogenous PSF and the capacity for the autogenous production of PSF. The link between these two new properties was strengthened by the demonstration that the variant lines absorbed PSF and, in some culture conditions, responded to exogenous PSF. Thus when variant cells were plated at low density in 1-ml agar cultures, cloning efficiency and colony size were enhanced by supplementation with sources of PSF, including medium conditioned by concanavalin A-stimulated normal spleen cells, T-cell tumors and T-cell hybridomas, and, importantly, medium conditioned by the autonomous P-cell lines themselves. In contrast to the parental line, the autonomous clones tested formed progressively growing tumors in vivo. It is proposed that the myelomonocytic leukemia WEHI-3B that produces PSF arose from a neutrophil-macrophage progenitor through acquisition of the capacity for the autogenous production of PSF and that the autogenous production of PSF may play a similar role in a range of proliferative disorders both of the blood and of other tissues containing components derived from the bone marrow. |

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.
