| Abstract | The buoyant density characteristics of infectious particles of herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 were studied by centrifugation in sucrose and cesium chloride density gradients with a high resolution and satisfactory infectivity recovery. It was shown that two populations of infectious virions differing in buoyant density coexisted, the difference being slight but definite. The ratio of heavy (H) to light (L) viral particles varied depending upon the solute used, the strains of virus, and the cell origin. Circumstances favoring degradation of viral infectivity tended to increase the H portion. Incubation at 37 degrees C largely converted L to H, and heating at 45 degrees C converted all virions to H without infectivity. The L to H conversion was irreversible, and no populations intermediate between L and H were clearly observed. Inactivation by UV light irradiation did not affect the density pattern. That H was not an artefact due to penetration of solutes, osmotic pressure, viral aggregation, or loss of the envelope was shown experimentally. A difference in the outer shape of particles between negatively stained L and H populations was demonstrated by electron microscopy. Both cell-released and cell-bound herpes simplex virus particles gave essentially the same result with respect to the above characteristics. The effect of limiting dilutions of antiserum was similar to that of mild thermal treatment, in that denser virions increased parallel to a decrease in less dense virions. Sensitization with early immunoglobulin G, composed mainly of complement-requiring neutralizing antibody, caused the density transition, and subsequent addition of complement resulted in a further increase in the buoyant density of the sensitized virions. The DNA in virus particles neutralized with immunoglobulin G plus complement remained resistant to DNase treatment. Possible implications of the phenomena are discussed. |

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.
