| Abstract | H5N1 has been identified as the most pathogenic strain of avian flu, and therefore has been the most studied in prospective vaccine strategies. The grim reality of material and personnel shortage during a pandemic renders all of the currently proposed technologies inadequate for rapid mass vaccination. The long term goal of this project is to develop a transdermal patch containing a nanoencapsulated H5N1 antigen to deliver the immunogen into the antigen presenting cell (APC)-rich epidermal layer of the human skin. This study examines the capacity of the electrospinning method to create a nanocomposite nonwoven mat that effectively encapsulates a peptide derived from the H5-hemagglutinin (HA) and preserves its immunoreactivity throughout the process. The assay we have employed utilizes immunoblotting with a slot blot apparatus; this method has allowed us to confirm immunoreactivity after exposure of HA peptide to the conditions encountered in producing electrospun nanocomposite mats and to quantitate levels of the immunogen on silicon wafer targets we propose to employ for transdermal delivery. Its ease of use and cost effectiveness offers the potential for incorporation of numerous epitopes of a selected antigen in a rapid and efficient manner to create large supplies of effective bird flu vaccines. |

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.
