| Abstract | DNA vaccines are considered as alternatives to live attenuated ones for those diseases like foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) where the production and application of live vaccines have been found unsuccessful. However, stability of DNA and the quantity of antigen expressed are the major limitation with naked DNA vaccines. To address these issues self replicating gene vaccine construct was made for foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) type ‘O’ and studied. The vector for vaccine construct, designated as pSinCMVVac carried CMV promoter and Poly(A) signal sequences at 5′ and 3′ end of Sindbis replicase gene respectively. Gene for structural protein precursor (P1-2A) of FMDV serotype ‘O’ was inserted into pSinCMVVac under subgenomic promoter. 5′UTR (untranslated region) of FMDV was introduced upstream of P1-2A to enhance the level of expression of cloned gene. Functionality of the vaccine construct was confirmed in vitro and in vivo. The self-replicating gene vaccine construct was tested in cattle in comparison with naked DNA vaccine carrying P1-2A and 3CD (pUP3CD). Humoral immune response by ELISA and SNT and cellular response by lymphoproliferation assay using MTT were studied. The default approach of using self replicating gene vaccine in high dose and multiple injection in cattle as followed in our studies might result in immunosuppression as this was observed in our subsequent experiments in guinea pigs. Hence based on dose response studies, vaccine strategy needs to be decided. However, the approach of using Sindbis polymerase gene and UTR in FMDV vaccine is the first report and shows future scope of developing such vaccines. |

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.
