Abstract
We report a comprehensive study of the structural, morphological, and optical properties, and UC-based ratiometric temperature sensing behavior of (α) cubic and (β) hexagonal phases of NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ nanoparticles. The α-NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ and β-NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ nanoparticles were synthesized using co-precipitation and hydrothermal methods, respectively. Powder X-ray diffraction studies confirmed the phase purity of the samples. The morphological studies show uniform particle sizes of both phases; the average particle size of α-NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ and β-NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ was 9.2 nm and 29 nm, respectively. The Raman spectra reveal five sharp peaks at 253 cm-1, 307 cm-1, 359 cm-1, 485 cm-1, and 628 cm-1 for β-NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+, whereas α-NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ shows two broad peaks centred at 272 cm-1 and 721 cm-1. The optical property measurements show that α- and β-NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ phases have distinct upconversion emission and temperature sensing behavior. The upconversion emission measurements show that β-NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ has higher overall emission intensities and green/red emission intensity ratio. The temperature-dependent upconversion emission measurements show that α-NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ has higher energy separation between 2H11/2 and 4S3/2 energy states. The temperature sensing performed utilizing these thermally coupled energy levels shows a maximum sensitivity of 0.0069 K-1 at 543 K and 0.016 K-1 at 422 K for β-NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ and α-NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+, respectively.

Abstract
Luminescent security features have been used for anticounterfeiting for a long time. However, constant effort is required to strengthen these security features to be ahead of counterfeiters. Here, we developed a multi-stimuli-responsive luminescent security ink containing Tb(ASA)3Phen, K2SiF6:Mn4+,and NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+luminescent materials in PVC gold medium. Tb(ASA)3Phen complex shows a broad excitation band in the UV region; upon UV light radiation it shows strong greenish emission of Tb3+ions through the antenna effect. K2SiF6:Mn4+, on the other hand, has three excitation bands with maxima at 248, 354, and 454 nm which emit red light after excitation through these bands. NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+is used as an upconverting nanophosphor showing green emission under 976 nm laser excitation. Thus, the multi-stimuli-responsive luminescent security ink shows greenish, red, and green emissions under 367 nm, 450 nm, and 976 nm excitations, respectively. Furthermore, the distinct lifetimes of the activators in Tb(ASA)3Phen and K2SiF6:Mn4+, i.e. 0.1708 ms and 8.165 ms, respectively, under 380 nm excitation make this ink suitable for dynamic anticounterfeiting as well. The ink shows a change in the emission color with time delay, after the removal of the 380 nm excitation source, from greenish yellow (at 0 delays) to reddish color after a delay of 7.5 ms. These unique optical features along with excellent photo-, chemical- and environmental stability make this ink useful for advanced-level anticounterfeiting.

Abstract
The increased consumption of drugs in India is alarming and literature reveals that there are many studies on substance abuse and on the current trends and factors responsible for its consumption across the globe but very few in the Indian context. Through this article, we intend to highlight the statistics of substance use in India in context of problem, causes, consequences, impact, intensity, solutions, measures taken and way forward. The study is useful to policy makers, common man and drug addicts. The study is based on compilation and analysis of secondary data collected from authentic sources. Through this study, we have made an attempt to cover A to Z of Substance abuse in India. Through this study, we found that the increased trend of Substance abuse is alarming and there is a severe need of interventions. The Narcotics department is seizing the drugs as and when they are getting the information but somehow the situation cannot be controlled only with the efforts of Narcotics department and the contribution of policy makers, parents, teachers, doctors, that is, of each and every one of us, is equally important to eradicate this evil from society and nation as a whole.

Abstract
The generation of memory T cells is critically important for rapid clearance and neutralization of pathogens encountered previously by the immune system. We have studied the kinetics of response and Ag dose requirements for proliferation and cytokine secretion of CD4+ memory T cells to examine whether there are qualitative changes which might lead to improved immunity. TCR Tg CD4+ T cells were primed in vitro and transferred into T cell-deficient hosts. After 6 or more weeks, the persisting T cells were exclusively small resting cells with a memory phenotype: CD44high CD62L+/- CD25-. Memory CD4 T cells showed a similar pattern of response as naive cells to peptide analogues with similar Ag dose requirements for IL-2 secretion. However, memory cells (derived from both Th2 and Th1 effectors) displayed faster kinetics of cytokine secretion, cell division, and proliferation, enhanced proliferation in response to low doses of Ag or peptide analogues, and production of IL-4, IL-5, and IFN-gamma. These results suggest there is a much more efficient response of CD4 memory T cells to Ag re-exposure and that the expanded functional capacity of memory cells will promote a rapid development of effector functions, providing more rapid and effective immunity.

Abstract
Normal human IgG for intravenous use (IVIg), administered intraperitoneally, protected Lewis rats against experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) induced by immunization with myelin basic protein (MBP). We demonstrate that protection was associated with an acquired unresponsiveness of lymphocytes to MBP and a decreased ability of the cells to produce IL-2, IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha and, to a lesser degree, IL-4 and IL-10, in the presence of the antigen. Lymph node (LN) cells of protected rats failed to passively transfer EAE to naive syngeneic animals. Our observations indicate that, rather than inducing selective immune deviation, IVIg induces preferential MBP unresponsiveness of Th1 cells. Whereas LN and splenic cells of IVIg-treated rats did not proliferate nor secrete IL-2 in the presence of the antigen, proliferation was restored by adding exogeneous recombinant IL-2. In contrast, LN cells of IVIg-treated rats proliferated normally and produced IL-2 in the presence of concanavalin A, indicating the selectivity for MBP of the anergy induced by IVIg when given at the time of immunization with the antigen. Treatment with IVIg also allowed a resistance to the secondary induction of EAE, indicating that IVIg protects from EAE but does not interfere with the processes that eventually lead to resistance to re-challenge. These data document the immunomodulatory effects of IVIg in T cell-dependent experimental autoimmune disease and further suggest a role for normal Ig in the selection of functional T cell repertoires.

Abstract
To gain insights into the development and regulation of immune responses, we have studied the phenotype, cytokine profiles, activation requirements, and susceptibility to apoptosis of naive CD4, Th1, Th2 polarized effectors, resting memory, and memory effector cells. T cell receptor (TCR) transgenic mice were utilized as a source of enriched naive cells that could be used to generate effector and memory populations. The direct comparison of these populations, which all bear the same TCR, has revealed some interesting distinctions. When restimulated with antigen, effector populations secrete high titers of cytokines in polarized patterns. Retaining their polarized profile, memory cells secrete low levels and memory effector cells secrete very large levels of cytokine. Unlike naive CD4 T cells, effector cell proliferation is not dependent on classic co-stimulation but does require a threshold level of TCR signaling that can be enhanced by accessory interactions. Memory cells have intermediate requirements for co-stimulation/accessory interactions. However, different thresholds of activation are required for production of various cytokines, with requirements for production of interleukin (IL) 2 >> interferon-gamma > IL-4. CD4 subsets also differ dramatically in their susceptibility to apoptosis. Naive Th2 effectors and resting memory cells undergo activation-induced cell death (AICD) 4-7 days after antigen stimulation. In contrast, both primary and memory Th1 effectors undergo rapid AICD mediated by Fas/FasL within 0.5-2 days after stimulation. AICD is substantially blocked by IL-2 and transforming growth factor-beta1, resulting in impressive effector expansion. The process of memory development from effector populations remains mysterious, but these studies suggest roles for cytokines in promoting survival.

Abstract
T cell activation is brought about by recognition of peptide/MHC complexes on an antigen-presenting cell (APC) by the T cell receptor (TCR). However, in general this appears to be insufficient for the full development of T cell responses and therefore additional signals are required, provided by ligation of counter-receptors on the T cell by APC accessory molecules. Although many studies have suggested that B7 molecules (CD80/CD86) binding to CD28 induce this second signal, it is now evident that any one of a number of molecules may provide accessory function and that efficient response is only generated following multiple interactions. It has also become clear that T cells exist in varying states of activation or differentiation, and that requirements for accessory molecules and costimuli are not always equivalent. This review covers much of the recent data regarding accessory molecule regulation of T cell responses. A modified version of the two signal model is presented, suggesting that the major function of accessory molecules during the initial stages of activation is to augment the ability to signal through the TCR, and that the primary role of costimulatory signals is to allow IL-2 secretion and growth. The requirement for multiple accessory molecules interactions is discussed in relation to activation of naive T cells and how such interactions are less critical at the memory and effector stages. Finally, this new information is related to how T cells interact with varying APC and how these interactions may modulate T cell response.

Abstract
We used naive CD4 cells and in vitro-derived Th1 and Th2 effectors from TCR transgenic mice to investigate the requirements of these subsets for TCR signaling and interactions with accessory molecules. Peptide Ag and immobilized anti-CD3 were used to provide different TCR signals. Anti-CD28 Ab or a panel of class II+ fibroblasts, expressing no accessory molecules or expressing intracellular adhesion molecule-1, B7-1, or both molecules, were used as APC or accessory cells (AC). An efficient naive T cell response required a strong TCR signal (high dose anti-CD3 or peptide) and high levels of multiple synergizing costimulatory signals, while effector cells responded efficiently to anti-CD3 alone. Addition of AC only slightly augmented the effector response. Effectors responded to lower doses of peptide than naive cells. However, when peptide-pulsed APC were used to stimulate effectors, requirements varied with the cytokine measured. The production of IL-4 did not require accessory molecules on APC. IL-2 production required interacting APC to express accessory molecules, but was little augmented by AC not presenting Ag, suggesting a requirement for noncostimulatory interactions. Proliferation of effectors closely paralleled IL-2 production. Production of IFN-gamma was intermediate in dependence on accessory molecules, and production of IL-5 was nearly as dependent as IL-2. These results establish major differences between the induction of naive and effector responses and document differential requirements for the induction of distinct cytokines, indicating that different cytokines may be produced depending on the context of effector restimulation.

Abstract
Naive CD4 T cell activation is a complex process involving many steps. T cell receptor (TCR) signals, provided by interaction with peptide/MHC on antigen-presenting cells (APC), control many events associated with activation. The extent of TCR signaling and the magnitude of the T cell response is in turn controlled by accessory molecules on APC, which stabilize T-APC interactions. Full T cell activation additionally requires multiple costimulatory signals, generated upon ligation of T cell coreceptors by accessory molecules, and these lead to IL-2 production, proliferation and differentiation of the naive cell into an effector state. This review summarizes the role played by accessory molecules in naive CD4 activation and discusses how integration of signals from these molecules, with signals from the TCR, may determine the outcome of T-APC interaction. The available data provide explanations for why only APC which express high levels of multiple costimulatory/adhesion molecules, such as dendritic cells and activated B cells, induce efficient naive T cell responses, and suggest that ICAM-1/LFA-1 and B7/CD28 interactions are major pathways used to initiate naive T cell activation.

Abstract
We have investigated the roles of TCR and accessory co-stimulatory signals in the induction of CD40 ligand (CD40L) on CD4 cells. Using naive T cells form TCR transgenic mice, specific for a peptide of pigeon cytochrome c, we show that in contrast to IL-2 secretion, CD40L expression is regulated primarily by signalling through the TCR, is enhanced by accessory molecule interactions, but co-stimulatory signals play little if any role. CD40L was induced at high levels on naive T cells, peaking at 5 h, by class II MHC+ fibroblast antigen-presenting cells (APC) which expressed either ICAM-1, B7-1 or both molecules, whereas only low levels were induced by fibroblasts which did not express any accessory molecules. Differences in intensity and duration of expression were seen following stimulation with ICAM- and B7-expressing APC, with the presence of ICAM resulting in greater and longer expression, although both molecules together were most efficient. The involvement of co-stimulatory signals delivered from accessory molecules was investigated in systems where there was no effect on TCR signalling from adhesive interactions. Anti-CD3, or antigen-pulsed APC lacking accessory molecules, were used to provide the TCR signal, with co-stimulus from either anti-CD28 or accessory molecule-expressing fibroblasts not presenting antigen. Anti-CD3 in the absence of co-stimuli induced high CD40L expression but no IL-2 production and provision of co-stimulatory signals, although inducing large quantities of IL-2, did not increase CD40L expression. In addition, low CD40L expression induced by antigen presented in the absence of accessory molecules was not enhanced by co-stimulation, although IL-2 was strongly up-regulated. These studies suggest that efficient expression of CD40L on naive CD4 cells does require accessory molecules on APC. However, the role of these molecules for CD40L induction, as opposed to IL-2 secretion, is not one of co-stimulation but one of adhesion, presumably allowing stronger or more prolonged signals to be generated through the TCR. The synergistic role of ICAM and B7 during naive CD4 activation was confirmed using dendritic cells as APC, with nearly complete inhibition of CD40L expression as well as IL-2 secretion being seen when both CTLA-4-Ig and anti-LFA-1 were used to block these molecules.

Abstract
Efficient initiation of a CD4 T cell response requires both activation through the TCR and costimulation provided by molecules on APC with counterreceptors on the T cell. We investigated the relative contribution of the ICAM-1:LFA-1 and B7:CD28/CTLA-4 costimulatory pathways in naive T cell activation, using either anti-CD28 Ab or fibroblast cell lines transfected with I-Ek, which express either no costimulatory molecules, ICAM-1 alone, B7-1 alone, or ICAM-1 and B7-1 together. Peptide Ag or immobilized anti-CD3 was used to provide the TCR signal. CD4 T cells from mice transgenic for the V beta 3/V alpha 11 TCR, which recognize a peptide of pigeon cytochrome c complexed to I-Ek, were used as a source of naive T cells. Naive T cells stimulated with Ag or anti-CD3 responded well to high numbers of APC expressing either ICAM-1 alone or B7-1 alone. However, APC expressing both ICAM-1 and B7-1 were much better stimulators of proliferation and IL-2 secretion at low cell numbers, and were far superior inducers of IL-2 at higher numbers, indicating a synergy between the two pathways. Stimulation provided by ICAM-1 could not be solely attributed to adhesive strengthening of other pathways, since costimulation was seen when immobilized anti-CD3 was used and when ICAM-1 only APC were added, indicating that ICAM-1 was in fact acting as a classic costimulatory molecule. Both the magnitude of the response and the amount of costimulation required for response were dependent on the intensity of TCR interaction. These results suggest that an efficient naive T cell response requires both a strong TCR signal and more than one costimulatory signal that will synergize with the TCR signal. This offers an explanation as to why APC such as dendritic cells and activated B cells, which express high levels of multiple costimulatory/adhesion molecules, are the only APC that elicit naive T cell responses.

This offers an explanation as to why APC such as dendritic cells and activated B cells, which express high levels of multiple costimulatory/adhesion molecules, are the only APC that elicit naive T cell responses.

Abstract
A model of neonatal allotolerance was developed in rats. Brown-Norway (BN) neonates injected with semi-allogeneic (BN x Lewis) F1 hybrid spleen cells express a long-lasting chimerism and exhibit polyclonal B cell activation demonstrated by hyperimmunoglobulinemia affecting mainly IgE and IgG1, anti-laminin and anti-DNA autoantibodies as well as glomerulonephritis and anti-hapten antibodies. These abnormalities are autoregulated although the chimerism persists. In contrast, Lewis (LEW) neonates injected with semi-allogeneic (BN x LEW) F1 hybrid spleen cells exhibit a very short-lasting chimerism and transient activation of B cells, as reflected by increased allo-class II antigen expression, but do not develop an autoimmune disease. The autoimmune syndrome observed in BN rats is similar to that reported in mice during host-versus-graft reaction. Similarities between the drug-induced models of autoimmunity and allogeneic reactions in BN rats are also striking. The susceptibility of BN rats and the resistance of LEW rats to these autoimmune diseases might respectively reflect the involvement of TH2-like or of TH1-like subsets.

Abstract
Administration of HgCl2 to the susceptible Brown-Norway (BN) rats induces an autoimmune disease characterized by a T-dependent polyclonal activation of B cells responsible for a dramatic increase in serum IgE concentration. The resistant Lewis (LEW) rats injected with HgCl2 do not exhibit such autoimmune manifestations. We show here that, upon HgCl2 injections, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecule expression is increased very early in lymph nodes and spleen B cells from both strains. So far, it is the earliest marker (day 3) of the effect of HgCl2 on the immune system. In both strains this enhancement is transient, but regulatory mechanisms are much more efficient in the resistant LEW strain than in the susceptible BN strain. In addition, we observed that MHC class II molecule expression on B cells differs according to the organ and the rat strain tested. All these findings are discussed in an attempt to underline the role of MHC class II molecule expression in the occurrence of mercury-induced autoimmunity.
