| Abstract | Target structures important for natural killer (NK) cell recognition of virally infected cells are not well defined. Since major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules bind viral peptides during acute infection, we evaluated whether an interaction between MHC and virus might influence the susceptibility of infected cells to NK cell-mediated lysis. To control for MHC class I expression on target cells, we used either HLA class I-deficient C1R cells or C1R sublines expressing transfected HLA class I gene products. Human NK cells were unable to preferentially lyse class I-deficient C1R cells after infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV). In contrast, HLA class I transfectants were significantly more susceptible to NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity after HSV infection. This occurred for HSV-infected C1R cells expressing any of the three HLA class I gene products tested (i.e., HLA-B27, HLA-A3, or HLA-Aw68), indicating that NK cell recognition in this system does not require "self" MHC and is not unique for a single haplotype. Productive HSV infection is required for the increased killing, since inoculation with UV-inactivated virus did not lead to increased lysis. In addition, since HSV infection of the transfectants did not significantly alter the level of class I expression, the change in susceptibility appears to be due to qualitative changes in the target structures on HSV-infected, HLA class I+ targets. These results demonstrate a role for MHC class I in regulating NK cell-mediated killing of virus-infected 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.
