| Abstract | Modifier screens have been powerful genetic tools to define signaling pathways in lower organisms. The identification of modifier loci in mice has begun to allow a similar dissection of mammalian signaling pathways. Transgenic mice (Btk(lo)) expressing 25% of endogenous levels of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) have B cell functional responses between those of wild-type and Btk(-/-) mice. We asked whether reduced dosage or complete deficiency of genes previously implicated as Btk regulators would modify the Btk(lo) phenotype. We used two independent assays of Btk-dependent B cell function. Proliferative response to B cell antigen receptor cross-linking in vitro was chosen as an example of a relatively simple, well-defined signaling system. In vivo response to type II T-independent antigens (TI-II) measures complex interactions among multiple cell types over time and may identify additional Btk pathways. All modifiers identified differentially affected these two assays, indicating that Btk mediates these processes via distinct mechanisms. Loss of Lyn, PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog), or SH2-containing inositol phosphatase suppressed the Btk(lo) phenotype in vitro but not in vivo, whereas CD19 and the p85alpha form of phosphoinositide 3-kinase behaved as Btk(lo) enhancers in vivo but not in vitro. Effects of Lyn, PTEN, or p85alpha haploinsufficiency were observed. Haploinsufficiency or complete deficiency of protein kinase C beta, Fyn, CD22, Galphaq, or Galpha11 had no detectable effect on the function of Btk(lo) B cells. A transgenic system creating a reduction in dosage of Btk can therefore be used to identify modifier loci that affect B cell responses and quantitatively rank their contribution to Btk-mediated processes. |

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.
