| Abstract | The lysis of herpes simplex virus-infected tissue culture cells by antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) requires a preliminary step in which effector cells adhere to the immunoglobulin G antibody-coated targets. To study the adhesion step, we made use of two observations: (i) some of the mononuclear cells in human blood form rosettes with antibody-coated target cells, and (ii) most ADCC effector cells can be removed by allowing mononuclear cells to adhere to monolayers of antibody-sensitized tissue culture cells. The effect of various experimental conditions on the adhesion step was assessed in ADCC cultures both at unit gravity and after centrifugation. At unit gravity both rosette formation and monolayer adhesion were partially reduced at 4°C as compared to 37°C. Both were also partially inhibited in glucose-free medium containing sodium azide and 2-deoxyglucose but were unaffected in glucose-free medium containing only one of these energy inhibitors. In contrast, after centrifugation neither reaction was inhibited at 4°C or in glucose-free medium with sodium azide and 2-deoxyglucose. Cytochalasin B but not colchicine suppressed both reactions. Inhibition by cytochalasin B could not be reversed by centrifugation. Both reactions were independent of extracellular Ca2+ and Mg2+ and were unaffected by rendering mononuclear cells cytotoxically inactive by brief heat shock. These findings indicate that the adhesion step in ADCC directed against virus-infected or uninfected tissue culture cells is only modestly dependent on effector cell energy generation, that centrifugation greatly reduces this dependence, and that microfilaments but not microtubules are necessary. The modest ambient temperature and energy requirements, independence of extracellular divalent cations, lack of sensitivity to colchicine, and relative resistance to supraphysiological temperature serve to distinguish the adhesion step from the lytic step in ADCC. |

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.
