| Abstract | Previous studies have suggested that virulence of pathogenic Yersiniae is associated with a suppression of the local cytokine response. In this context, the plasmid-encoded 41-kDa Yersinia outer protein B (YopB) has been implicated with the lack of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) expression in Peyer's patches (PP), following oral infection of mice with the enteropathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica. The present study was performed to further evaluate the relationships between YopB-induced suppression of TNF-α and bacterial survival in host tissue. Results are presented to show the ability of purified YopB to suppress the release of TNF-α by macrophages, the effect of which was neutralized by monospecific anti-YopB antiserum. In mice orally infected with Y. enterocolitica, anti-YopB treatment on days 3 and 5 postinfection, significantly decreased the recovery of live bacteria from PP. This observation correlated with a strong increase in TNF-α expression, as determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and measuring the levels of TNF activity in homogenates of PP. Moreover, treatment of mice with a combination of anti-YopB and anti-TNF-α antiserum, completely abrogated the beneficial effect of the anti-YopB antiserum. In controls, expression of other proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1 remained unaffected by either treatment. Therefore, the results indicate that endogenous TNF-α is required for eradication of Y. enterocolitica from host tissue, and further imply that YopB significantly contributes to suppression of the local TNF-α response in PP. |

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.
