| Abstract | A major outer membrane protein band of approximately 25 to 27 kDa is commonly observed in strains of Haemophilus influenzae. This study has investigated the potential of a 26-kDa protein (OMP26) from nontypeable H. influenzae (NTHI) as a vaccine candidate. OMP26 was used to immunize rats via intestinal Peyer’s patches, followed by an intratracheal boost. Immunization was found to significantly enhance bacterial clearance following pulmonary challenge with both the homologous NTHI strain and a different NTHI strain. Significant levels of anti-OMP26 were found in the serum and bronchoalveolar lavage from immunized rats, and isotypes of immunoglobulin G (IgG) were also measured in serum. Analysis of IgG isotypes present in serum following OMP26-immunization suggest that predominantly a T-helper 1-type response was induced. The OMP26 protein was amino-terminally sequenced and found to have no homology with the P5 of H. influenzae type b P5 or the fimbrin protein of NTHI, both can migrate upon sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at similar molecular masses but OMP26 has 100% homology with a segment of the H. influenzae Rd genome. The results of this study suggest that OMP26 may be a suitable vaccine candidate against NTHI infection and warrants continued investigation and characterization. |

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.
