| Abstract | Normal and retrovirally transfected keratinocyte suspensions expressing either the beta-galactosidase gene or the human growth hormone (hGH) gene were transplanted into chamber-enclosed skin full-thickness wounds of Yorkshire pigs. Immunostaining of sequential skin biopsies obtained for 4 weeks after transplantation showed survival of the transplanted keratinocytes as well as expression of beta-galactosidase. Transfected keratinocytes were first seen in the neodermal portions of the wounds, then in the regenerating basal epidermal layer, and finally in the terminally differentiating cells of the stratum spinosum. When keratinocytes transfected with the hGH gene were transplanted into similar wounds, hGH was detected for 10 days in wound fluid. In contrast, hGH was detected in vitro for 47 days. Wounds transplanted with either transfected or normal keratinocytes restored the epithelial barrier function significantly faster than nontransplanted controls (P < 0.05). The study confirms the successful transplantation of keratinocyte suspensions, their reconstitution of the epidermis, and their acceleration of repair. Further, this apparently normal incorporation of genetically engineered transplanted keratinocytes expressing either beta-galactosidase or hGH suggests the possibility of introducing other genes expressing therapeutic proteins into wounds to favorably affect healing. Wound fluid detection of the expressed peptide provided early demonstration of successful transfer of the hGH gene. |

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.
