| Abstract | The antiphospholipid syndrome is characterized by thrombocytopenia, thrombosis, and recurrent fetal loss in association with anti-cardiolipin antibodies (ACAs) or lupus anti-coagulants. However, the causal role of these antibodies in the disease and the mechanisms by which the ACA may induce the syndrome are not clear. Recently, we have established an experimental mouse antiphospholipid syndrome induced by the mouse IgM monoclonal ACA designated 2C4C2. In the present study, we focused on the effects of immunization with the monoclonal ACA 2C4C2 on the outcome of pregnancies in BALB/c female mice. Four weeks after active immunization with the monoclonal ACA, a severe gestational failure with low pregnancy rates, low number of fetuses, and a high rate of resorptions was observed. Moreover, embryos obtained from the ACA-immunized females on day 3.5 of pregnancy were severely impaired, demonstrating developmental delay and abnormal morphology. These abnormal embryos failed also to develop in an in vitro implantation model. Furthermore, specific binding of the 2C4C2 ACA to the trophectoderm cell lineage of in vitro implanting normal embryos was observed. Thus, our studies demonstrate that the severe ACA-induced gestational failure results from an impairment of implantation and suggest that the ACA may react directly with the preimplantation embryos. |

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.
