| Abstract | Immunofluorescence studies showed that properdin (P) and factor B bind to C3-C3b receptor bearing human lymphoblastoid cells (Raji, Daudi) and B type human peripheral lymphocytes (HPL). P bound to Raji cells first incubated with normal human serum (NHS). EDTA, but not EGTA, halted the binding of P to cells incubated with NHS. However, fixation of P to Raji cells, after incubation with NHS first reacted with inulin, was independent of Ca++ and -g++ ions. Fixation of P to Raji cells depended on the presence of C3 or C3b and occurred in the absence of factor D and factor B. Binding of P to B type HPL was detectable only after incubation of these cells with NHS first reacted with inulin; under these conditions binding of P to Raji cells was also greatly enhanced. With both Raji cells and HPL, factor B was detectable on cell surfaces only after incubation of these cells with NHS first reacted with activators of the P system. Binding of factor B to cells required the presence of C3b and binding or stabilization of cell bound factor B necessitated the presence of activated P. P and factor B were detectable only on cultured cells having C3-C3b receptors. However, incubation of NHS with all lymphoblastoid cell lines studied resulted in activation of P and cleavage of factor B. Binding of P and factor B to cells may follow one of three sequences; (a) activated P in fluid phase combines with C3, factor D, and factor B, and the whole complex fixes to cellular C3-C3b receptors via its C3 moiety; (b) C3b generated in fluid phase combines with P, C3, factor D, and factor B and binds to C3-C3b receptors; or (c) C3 or C3b first binds onto the C3-C3b receptors and thereafter interacts with P, factor D, And factor B. Binding of components of the P system to cells or other particles may relate to such biological phenomena as lysis, phagocytosis, proliferation, attraction of other cell types, and alteration of responsiveness to external stimuli. |

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.
