| Abstract | Two recombinant retroviral vectors encoding the cDNA of the human adenosine deaminase (ADA; EC 3.5.4.4) gene and the bacterial neomycin resistance (Neo) gene have been used to transduce bone marrow cells obtained from four patients affected by the ADA-deficient variant of severe combined immunodeficiency. By utilizing the long-term marrow culture system, freshly isolated bone marrow cells were subjected to multiple infection cycles with cell-free supernatants containing high titers of viral vector and then maintained in long-term marrow culture in the absence of any overt selection pressure. By using this experimental protocol, about 30-40% of the hematopoietic progenitors were productively transduced with the viral vector, as judged by the appearance of G418-resistant colonies derived from granulocyte/macrophage and multipotent hematopoietic progenitor cells. The vector-encoded human ADA gene was expressed efficiently in both the myeloid and lymphoid progeny of the cultured bone marrow cells, reaching levels between 15% and 100% as compared to the levels of ADA in normal bone marrow cells. The efficiency of gene transfer and ADA production was proportional to the number of infection cycles. Furthermore, transduction of the ADA vectors into the bone marrow cells derived from an ADA-deficient patient restored the capacity of the cells to respond to phytohemagglutinin and interleukin 2. |

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.
