| Abstract | Five immunofluorescence (IF) kits or reagents (Bartels [Bartels Immunodiagnostic Supplies, Inc., Bellevue, Wash.], Imagen [CellTech Diagnostics, Ltd., distributed by Analytab Products, Plainview, N.Y.], Ortho [Ortho Diagnostics Systems, Inc., Raritan, N.J.], Syva [Syva Co., Palo Alto, Calif.], Whittaker [Whittaker Bioproducts, Walkersville, Md.]) were evaluated for typing and laboratory confirmation of herpes simplex virus (HSV). Of 101 clinical isolates tested by each kit or reagent, results for 97 of them were in agreement. Identification of the four isolates with discordant results was performed by restriction endonuclease analysis of the viral DNA. The sensitivity and specificity of the Imagen and Bartels kits were 100%. For the Ortho, Syva, and Whittaker kits or reagents, the HSV type 1 (HSV-1) and HSV type 2 (HSV-2) sensitivities were 97.4 and 100%, 100 and 100%, and 97.4 and 100%, respectively, and the specificities were 100 and 97.4%, 100 and 92.4%, and 100 and 97.4%, respectively. There was one false-positive HSV-2 isolate identified by each of the Ortho and Whittaker kits or reagents. Three false-positive HSV-2 isolates occurred by staining with Syva, giving the erroneous indication of dual isolates. Several isolates stained with Imagen and Whittaker reagents displayed dull IF patterns. A dull green background occurred in ca. one-third of the HSV-2 isolates tested with the Ortho kit. The intensities of IF staining by the Bartels and Syva kits were satisfactory; however, the latter displayed a specificity of 92.7%. A total of 38 and 63 specimens were finally designated as HSV-1 and HSV-2, respectively. Identification of each isolate with the Bartels kit was consistently interpretable and is recommended as the typing and confirmatory assay of choice. |

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.
