| Abstract | The precise timing and mechanism of in utero human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are unknown, but transplacental transmission is likely. Term placentas from HIV+ pregnancies contain only rare HIV-infected cells whose origins and phenotypes remain controversial, and no correlation has been found between the presence of HIV in term placentas and transmission to offspring. Reports of trophoblast infectibility have not been reproducible and do not address the question of infection in the placental stroma, the cells in direct contact with fetal circulation. We report that primary cultures of fetal placental chorionic villus stromal cells, while not infectable in vitro, do support lethally irradiated HIV-infected peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in a form that permits rescue of HIV by activated PBMCs weeks later. Infected PBMCs adhere and become intimately associated with placental cells by a mechanism that is LFA-1 and CD4 independent but can be blocked by antibodies or soluble CD4 binding to cell surface-expressed HIV envelope. The ability to sustain infected irradiated cells was not shared by several trophoblast, fibroblast, or epithelial cell lines. This model has several features that are compatible with in utero transmission and allow testing of various agents proposed as interventions to block maternal-->fetal transmission. Placental stromal cells appear to inhibit apoptosis of HIV-infected, irradiated lymphocytes. |

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.
