| Abstract | Human convalescent serum and bacterial fusion proteins constructed from overlapping open reading frames of the nucleotide sequence encoding the human cytomegalovirus gp55 component of the major envelope glycoprotein complex, gp55-116 (gB), were used to localize antigenic regions recognized by human antibodies. All donor serum analyzed contained antibody reactivity for an antigenic site(s) located between amino acids (AA) 589 and 645, a region containing a previously defined linear site recognized by neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (U. Utz, B. Britt, L. Vugler, and M. Mach, J. Virol. 63:1995-2001, 1989). Furthermore, in-frame insertion of two different synthetic oligonucleotides encoding four amino acids into the sequence at nucleotide 1847 (AA 616) eliminated antibody recognition of the fusion protein. A second antibody binding site was located within the carboxyl terminus of the protein (AA 703 through 906). A competitive binding inhibition assay in which monoclonal antibodies were used to inhibit human antibody reactivity with recombinant gp55-116 (gB) suggested that the majority of human anti-gp55-116 (gB) antibodies were directed against a single antigenic region located between AA 589 and 645. Furthermore, inoculation of mice with fusion proteins containing this antigenic site led to a boostable antibody response. These results indicated that the antigenic site(s) located between AA 589 and 645 was an immunodominant antibody recognition site on gp55 and likely the whole gp55-116 (gB) molecule. The enhanced immunogenicity of this region in vivo may account for its immunodominance. |

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.
