| Abstract | Influenza virus infection activates cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) that contribute to viral clearance by releasing perforin and granzymes from cytoplasmic granules. Virus-specific, perforin-dependent CD8(+) CTL were detected in freshly isolated cells from the mouse lung parenchyma but not from the mediastinal lymph nodes (MLN), where they are primed, or from the spleen during primary influenza virus infection. To determine whether this difference was due to the low frequency or incomplete maturation of effector CTL in MLN, we measured expression of perforin, granzymes A, B, and C, and IFN-gamma mRNAs in CD8(+) populations and single cells immediately after isolation from virus-infected mice. Quantitative PCR revealed significant expression of perforin, granzyme A, granzyme B, and IFN-gamma in activated CD8(+) cells from MLN, spleen, and lung parenchyma. Granzyme C expression was not detected. Individual activated or nucleoprotein peptide/class I tetramer-binding CD8(+) cells from the three tissues expressed diverse combinations of perforin, granzyme, and IFN-gamma mRNAs. Although cells from lung expressed granzymes A and B at higher frequency, each of the tissues contained cells that coexpressed perforin with granzymes A and/or B. The main difference between MLN and lung was the elevated frequency of activated CD8(+) T cells in the lung, rather than their perforin/granzyme expression profile. The data suggest that some CTL mature into perforin/granzyme-expressing effector cells in MLN but reach detectable frequencies only when they accumulate in the infected lung. |

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.
