| Abstract | Introduction of DNA into human hemopoietic cells is required for the study of regulatory mechanisms operating in these cells, as well as for possible procedures of gene therapy. However, with hemopoietic cells the conventional technique of calcium phosphate precipitation is inefficient. The pathway of encapsidation of plasmid DNA as simian virus 40 (SV40) pseudovirions for the introduction of new genetic material was therefore investigated. Encapsidation was achieved in COS (monkey kidney) cells, which express SV40 large tumor (T) antigen constitutively. The vector, pSO, was introduced to the COS cells by DNA transfection. It carried the SV40 origin of replication (ori), to facilitate replication of the plasmid in the COS cells. The SV40 capsid proteins were supplied in trans by a helper SV40 virus. The bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene cat was used as a model for gene transmission. After encapsidation, the pseudovirions were used in infection of the human erythroleukemic cell line K562 and of normal human bone marrow cells. The results demonstrate that the cat gene can be transmitted with high efficiency. Over 40% of the infected K562 cells and 30% of the infected bone marrow cells were observed to contain plasmid DNA 48 hr after infection. Moreover, the results suggest that the efficiency of gene transmission by this vector can be improved and so may approach the theoretical 100%. |

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.
