| Abstract | Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is well recognized for its role in mediating innate immune responses. However, the mechanisms of TNF-α that influence the adaptive immune response to virus infections are not well understood. In this study, we have investigated the role of TNF-α in activating the cellular and humoral responses to systemic viral challenge with recombinant replication-defective adenovirus (rAd). Evaluation of T cell function in TNF-α-deficient (TNFKO) mice revealed impaired virus-specific proliferation of T cells derived from the draining lymph nodes of the liver. Analysis of dendritic cells (DC) isolated from local draining lymph nodes after systemic challenge showed that DC from TNFKO mice were relatively immature compared with those from strain-matched wild-type mice. In vitro, TNF-α was required to mature DC efficiently during virus-mediated stimulation. Adoptive transfer of primed, mature DC into TNFKO mice restored T cell responses and reconstituted anti-adenovirus antibody responses. Thus, TNF-α plays a significant role in the maturation of DC after adenovirus challenge both in vitro and in vivo, highlighting the importance of this innate cytokine in activating adaptive immunity to viral challenge. |

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.
