| Abstract | The binding of guinea pig peritoneal macrophages to planar lipid monolayers on alkylated glass is shown to be highly specific, requiring lipid hapten in the monolayer and specific anti-hapten IgG antibody. This is true for both "fluid" and "solid" monolayer membranes, in which the lateral diffusion coefficients of fluorescent lipid probes and bound fluorescent antibodies differ by at least two orders of magnitude. The region of the (macrophage membrane)--(monolayer membrane) contact is readily observed by using an epifluorescence microscope and fluoresceinated IgG antibodies or fluorescent lipids. The fluorescence intensity of IgG antibodies bound to lipid haptens in fluid monolayer membranes in the region of the (macrophage membrane)--(monolayer membrane) contact was significantly enhanced in the early stages of binding (first 10 min at 24 degrees C), due to a diffusive flux of the fluorescent antibodies into the region of membrane--membrane contact. Cellular activation takes place immediately during a 10-min warm-up to 37 degrees C and can be recognized by rapid symmetrical cell spreading, the formation of "black holes" around the cells (probably due to superoxide-facilitated photochemical bleaching of the fluorophore), and the release of the lysozomal enzyme cathepsin B. Specific antibody-dependent [1-14C]-glucose oxidation by these macrophages on fluid and solid monolayers is quite similar to that reported previously for fluid and solid bilayer vesicle target membranes. These results are significant for understanding the molecular interactions between membranes that are necessary for a macrophage cytotoxic response. |

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.
