| Abstract | Little is known about the bacterial factors that enable pathogenic mycobacteria to survive and multiply within the macrophages of the infected host. By preparing cDNA from Mycobacterium avium bacilli grown in human-derived macrophages and in broth culture and using subtractive hybridization to remove commonly expressed genes, a procedure was developed to identify genes of M. avium that are specifically expressed when the bacilli are growing within macrophages. Total RNA was isolated from M. avium recovered 5 days after infection of human macrophages and from bacilli grown in vitro in broth. Mycobacterial mRNAs were converted to cDNA by reverse transcription. Biotin-modified cDNAs prepared from M. avium grown in broth culture were used to subtract the housekeeping genes from the cDNAs of the macrophage-derived M. avium. After each round of subtraction, a sample of the unsubtracted cDNA was amplified, labeled, and hybridized to cosmid clones of M. avium DNA. After three rounds of subtraction, the amplified DNA hybridized to approximately 1% of the cosmid clones under stringent conditions. Although the majority of the genes that are induced in phagocytized M. avium cells are expressed in the broth-grown bacilli, one DNA fragment that was identified coded for an mRNA that is highly specific for M. avium in phagosomes. This procedure will be especially useful for identifying genes that are expressed in response to growth in specific environments from organisms with genetic systems that are not well characterized. |

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.
