| Abstract | Culture filtrates of Shigella flexneri 2a strain M4243 grown in iron-depleted medium, caused significant fluid accumulation in rabbit ileal loops. Also, when tested in Ussing chambers, a greater rise in potential difference and short circuit current was seen with such filtrates compared with the medium control. Analogous filtrates from two M4243 derivatives lacking the 140-MD invasiveness plasmid (either M4243avir or BS103) retained 60-65% of the wild-type enterotoxic activity. Ultrafiltration and gel exclusion size fractionation of M4243 filtrate revealed that the activity was approximately 60 kD. SDS-PAGE performed on this fraction showed 18 bands, 5 of which reacted with human convalescent sera. Genes encoding this enterotoxin, named ShET1 for Shigella enterotoxin 1, were cloned from the S. flexneri 2a chromosome, and two separate open reading frames of 534 and 186 bp were sequenced. These observations suggest that S. flexneri 2a elaborates two distinct enterotoxins: ShET1, encoded by genes located on the chromosome, and ShET2, encoded by a gene on the 140-MD invasiveness plasmid. ShET1, which is composed of two distinct subunits and is elaborated in vivo, where it elicits an immune response, may be important in the pathogenesis of diarrheal illness due to S. flexneri 2a. |

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.
