| Abstract | B and T lymphocytes are generated from hematopoietic stem cells during both fetal and adult life. A critical unresolved issue is whether the differentiation pathways in lymphopoiesis are the same in fetal and adult animals or whether they differ, similar to the hemoglobin switch in erythropoiesis. We report here that a developmental switch occurs in B lymphopoiesis. We isolated 'pro-B' cells (i.e., cells that have initiated, but not completed, heavy-chain gene rearrangement) from fetal and adult sources and investigated their B-cell progeny generated both in vitro and in vivo. Most of the cells from fetal liver, but few from adult bone marrow, expressed CD5. Further, fetal pro-B cells failed to generate cells expressing high levels of IgD in severe combined immunodeficiency mice, whereas adult pro-B cells gave rise to CD5-B cells bearing IgD at levels comparable to the bulk of cells in the spleen of adult mice. Thus, all committed B progenitors in fetal liver of day 16 gestation mice give rise to phenotypically distinct progeny when compared to cells at a comparable differentiation stage in the bone marrow of adult animals. We conclude that the cohort of B-lineage progenitors in early fetal development is committed to a differentiation pathway distinct from that seen in the adult. |

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.
