| Abstract | BAFF and APRIL are two members of the TNF superfamily that have co-stimulatory activity on B cells and contribute to autoimmunity. While BAFF is processed at the cell surface, APRIL is processed inside the cell by a furin-convertase and is able to perform its function only as a soluble factor. However, APRIL can be expressed as a cell surface fusion protein with TWEAK called TWE-PRIL. BAFF can also exist as a soluble molecule and can be detected in human serum. Whether the biological functions controlled by membrane-bound BAFF differ from those triggered by soluble BAFF is unclear. In addition to this complexity, DeltaBAFF, an alternative splice isoform of BAFF shows different properties. BAFF can also, in autoimmune disease form heterotrimers with APRIL but the control and function of these heterotrimers remain unclear. In order to understand the function of these molecules we need to elucidate the complexity of the various forms of these members of the TNF family. |

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.
