| Abstract | The extent of antibody to the influenza virus A/Hong Kong/68 (H3N2) after four years of prevalence was investigated in Britain and in the U.S.A. The results indicated a high incidence in both populations. The prevalence of antibody to a variant A/England/42/72 (H3N2) which has been causing epidemics of influenza in the southern hemisphere during the middle months of 1972 was also investigated. The differences reflect the shift in antigenic content of this variant, and although the overall proportion of the sera with antibody at > 1/40 was 37%, some age groups had an incidence of only 20% or less with antibody at this level. A commercial inactivated A/Hong Kong/68 influenza vaccine was given to a group of volunteers in Britain to see how effective it might be in stimulating antibody to the variant A/England/42/72. The antibody responses were better than expected from earlier vaccine studies, and 63% of the vaccinees developed antibody to the A/England/42/72 to levels thought likely to be protective. This suggested that until a vaccine made with the variant A/England/42/72 becomes available the present A/Hong Kong/68 vaccine would be of use to protect those at special risk this winter. |

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.
