| Abstract | Accurate serological confirmation of dengue (DEN) infection is difficult, because simple reliable assays for the detection of DEN antibodies are not available. To address this problem, a dipstick enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was evaluated. The dipstick contained dots of serially diluted DEN 2 antigen. To detect immunoglobulin G (IgG), the dipstick was processed through four reaction cuvettes containing test serum, enhancer, enzyme-conjugated anti-human IgG and IgM antibody, and substrate. Total assay time was 45 min. To detect IgM, the serum was passed through a protein G device to remove IgG. The dipstick was then processed as before, except that the incubation times were longer and enzyme-conjugated anti-human IgM was used. The total assay time was 3 h. The dipstick ELISA results were compared with results from microplate ELISA. The IgG dipstick ELISA showed a sensitivity of 95.2% and a specificity of 100% compared to an IgG microplate ELISA with serum samples from 125 individuals living in an area in which DEN is endemic. In tests with 75 serum samples from patients with clinically suspected acute DEN infections, the IgM dipstick ELISA showed a sensitivity of 97.9% and specificity of 100% compared to those of an IgM antibody capture microplate ELISA. These results showed that the dipstick ELISA was a sensitive and specific test for the detection of either DEN IgM or IgG in human serum. The dipstick ELISA was also shown to be useful for detecting seroconversions to DEN IgM or IgG in paired serum samples from 20 patients with virus isolation-confirmed acute DEN infections. |

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.
