| Abstract | Antibody-mediated neutralization of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) was evaluated with primary isolates and sera from infected individuals, using human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) activated with phytohemagglutinin 1 day after virus inoculation (resting-cell assay) or 2 days prior to virus inoculation (blast assay). Assays were performed exclusively with syncytium-inducing (SI) isolates since non-SI isolates replicated poorly or not at all in the resting-cell assay. Ninety percent neutralization was difficult to achieve in both assays for most virus-serum combinations tested. Of particular note, virus replication in the absence of antibody was delayed 2 to 3 days in the resting-cell assay. At least part of this delay was due to a decrease in virus infectivity; the 50% tissue culture infectious dose of primary isolates was 25 to 30 times lower in the resting-cell assay than in the PBMC blast assay. When a broadly neutralizing serum and the same dilution of virus were used in both assays, neutralization was greater in the resting-cell assay than in the blast assay on day 7, but neutralization was equal in both assays when measurements were made 3 days sooner in the PBMC blast assay. Both assays had the same level of detection on day 7 when the amount of virus mixed with antibody and added to cells was standardized according to infectivity for the respective target cells. Thus, when the infectious dose was adjusted, the two assays were equally sensitive for detecting antibody-mediated neutralization of primary isolates of HIV-1. These results indicate that primary isolates of HIV-1 are difficult to neutralize in both assays and that the detection of neutralization is not affected by the initial activation state of PBMC. |

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.
