| Abstract | The innate immune system is critically important for the primary sensing of invading pathogens. Over the past decade, the cellular sensors important for recognizing microbial entry into the host cell have been largely elucidated. These sensors, some of which are evolutionarily conserved, include the Toll-like receptor (TLR) and RIG-I-like helicase family (RLH) pathway that can recognize bacterial and viral non-self nucleic acid. In addition, a cellular sensor referred to as STING (for stimulator of interferon genes) has been shown to be critical for triggering host defense countermeasures, including stimulation of the adaptive immune response, following the detection of cytosolic DNA species. The STING pathway has now been shown to be critical for activating innate immune gene transcription in response to infection by DNA pathogens such as herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) as well as retroviruses. In addition, it is clear that chronic STING activation can also cause autoinflammatory disease manifested by self-DNA. Here we review recent developments in our understanding of STING function, including importance in the control of microbial disease. |

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.
