| Abstract | We have generated a series of transgenic mouse lines harboring the entire human germ cell alkaline phosphatase (GCAP) gene linked to progressively longer sequences of flanking DNA. A 450-bp promoter sequence directs the expression of GCAP to the intestine and endothelial cells, while a 5' sequence of 1.7 kb directs GCAP expression to the spermatogenic lineage and to the eight-cell through the blastocyst stage of preimplantation development. The expression of GCAP in these FVB/N transgenic mice induces a cellular immune tolerance to GCAP. When mouse fibrosarcoma MO4 cells (C3H derived), stably transfected with the cloned GCAP gene, were injected s.c. in nontransgenic control (C3H x FVB/N) hybrid mice, GCAP-positive tumor cells were rejected. However, when GCAP-expressing transgenic (C3H x FVB/N) hybrid mice were challenged with these cells, GCAP-positive tumors developed. Tumors also developed in the transgenic hybrid mice upon injection of MO4 cells transfected with the highly homologous placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) cDNA in spite of the presence in PLAP of 10 amino acids that are different from the corresponding residues in GCAP. These GCAP transgenic mice will allow the study of the immune response associated with the repeated administration of conjugated or derivatized anti-GCAP and anti-PLAP monoclonal antibodies. They will also enable evaluation of the therapeutic potential of bifunctional antibodies for T-cell recruitment and destruction of GCAP/PLAP-producing tumor cells. |

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.
