| Abstract | The cell surface density of high-affinity membrane receptors for the T-lymphocytotrophic hormone interleukin 2 (IL-2) determines the rate of T-cell-cycle progression. Since 10-fold greater numbers of IL-2 receptor molecules were found by using a radiolabeled monoclonal antibody reactive with IL-2 receptors (anti-Tac) compared with binding of IL-2, the functional relationship of the binding sites recognized by both of these ligands was assessed. In the presence of cycloheximide, IL-2 binding sites declined with a half-time (t1/2) of 2.6 hr, whereas the decay of anti-Tac binding sites was much slower (t 1/2 = 6.4 hr). Moreover, after limited membrane proteolysis, the half-time for the reappearance of IL-2 binding sites was remarkably similar to its decay (t 1/2 = 2.2 hr), while Tac antigen reappearance was markedly retarded, returning to only 20% of original levels within 5 hr after proteolysis. Addition of homogeneous immunoaffinity-purified IL-2 to cell populations that expressed equivalent IL-2 and anti-Tac binding sites resulted in a time- and temperature-dependent 8- to 10-fold enhancement of Tac epitope expression and, simultaneously, a 20-30% diminishment of detectable high-affinity IL-2 binding sites. As the magnitude of the IL-2-dependent proliferative response correlated with the density of high-affinity IL-2 binding sites, rather than Tac antigen levels, quantitation of Tac epitope density does not provide a reliable indication of IL-2-responsiveness among activated T-cell populations. Instead, IL-2-receptor interactions actually promote the loss of IL-2 responsiveness by diminishing the density of high-affinity binding sites at the time that Tac antigen levels are increased. |

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.
