| Abstract | The roles of the subcomponents of colonization factor antigen II, the coli surface antigens CS1, CS2, and CS3, as colonization factors and protective antigens was studied in a nonligated rabbit intestine model (RITARD). Infection with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) carrying CS3 alone or CS1 plus CS3 induced diarrhea in most (80%) of the rabbits, whereas nonenterotoxigenic strains expressing CS1 or CS2 rarely induced diarrhea. Strains carrying CS1, CS2, or CS3 alone were all shed in stools for a significantly longer period than normal fecal flora-type E. coli. Initial infection with ETEC positive for CS1 plus CS3 induced significant protection against disease caused by reinfection with a highly diarrheagenic dose of the homologous strain; rabbits previously infected with serotype-heterologous, nontoxigenic bacteria carrying CS1 only were also protected against this challenge, whereas no such protection was induced by serogroup-homologous E. coli carrying CS2 only. Animals previously infected with CS1-, CS3-, or CS1-plus-CS3-positive bacteria excreted the CS1-plus-CS3 challenge strain for a significantly shorter period than did "nonimmunized" rabbits, whereas initial infection with bacteria carrying CS2 only did not result in such reduced shedding. Monoclonal antibodies against CS1, CS2, or CS3 all protected against experimental infection with ETEC carrying the corresponding CS factor. These results suggest that all the subcomponents of colonization factor antigen II are colonization factors and may induce anticolonization immunity. |

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.
