| Abstract | Acute measles, a well known disease usually contracted during early childhood, is still the major cause of vaccine-preventable infant deaths worldwide. There are about 40 million cases of acute measles per year, with more than one million cases of infant death as a consequence of measles. These are mainly due to opportunistic infections which develop on the basis of a generalized suppression of the cellular immunity in the course and after the acute disease. Lymphopenia, a general proliferative unresponsiveness of T cells ex vivo and cytokine imbalance, are considered as major hallmarks of measles virus (MV) induced immunosuppression. These findings are compatible with modulation of T cell responses by viral interference with professional antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells or direct effects on T cells by suppression of survival or proliferation signals. In vitro, MV interaction causes a variety of effects on dendritic cells, including maturation and loss of their allostimulatory functions. Whether there is an additional impact on the quality of T cell responses is unknown as yet. It is clear, however, that surface interaction of lymphocytes with the MV glycoprotein complex is necessary and sufficient to induce a state of proliferative unresponsiveness in T cells. This surface contact mediated signal essentially interferes with the propagation of the interleukin 2 receptor signal by blocking the activation of the protein kinase B, also called Akt kinase, both in vitro and after experimental infection. |

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.
