| Abstract | Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) proviral mutants that lack viral regulatory genes are unable to replicate unless rescued by complementation in trans. Structurally intact virus can be produced by infecting recombinant cell lines expressing the deficient genes. A HIV-1 mutant functionally defective in tat and rev (vIIIB delta Tat/Rev), which replicates only in a recombinant T-cell line expressing tat and rev (CEMTART), is described in this report. Infection of the CEMTART cell line with vIIIB delta Tat/Rev permits the complete HIV-1 life cycle, including cytopathology, decreased expression of CD4, and production of viral structural proteins, to be biologically contained. Culture supernatants from infected CEMTART contain virus that is able to replicate only in uninfected CEMTART. No reversion of vIIIB delta Tat/Rev to wild-type HIV-1 was observed as measured either by sequencing proviral vIIIB delta Tat/Rev or by detecting the ability of vIIIB delta Tat/Rev to replicate in CEM or activated CD4-bearing T lymphocytes. Defective HIV-1 mutants produced by trans complementation of essential genes permit infection and analysis of defined genotypes on cellular function and phenotype. Authentic HIV-1 structural proteins and infected cells can be prepared in mass, and agents that interfere with the HIV-1 life cycle can be studied on a large scale with minimum risk of exposing workers to virulent HIV-1. |

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.
