| Abstract | Mouse interferons appear as two distinct molecular forms, one migrating at 38,000 daltons in sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gels and one migrating at 22,000 daltons; these interferons comprise about 80% and 20% of total activities, respectively. When such interferon preparations are briefly exposed to acidic periodate buffer, the larger interferon species is apparently converted to the smaller form since the activity at 38,000 daltons is completely eliminated while the activity at 22,000 daltons increases significantly; upon further oxidative cleavage, antiviral activity becomes detectable migrating at 15,000 daltons. Because no native mouse interferon has been reported as such small molecules, this antiviral activity is designated mouse “interferoid” to distinguish it from the native, naturally occurring interferon forms. Prolonged acidperiodate treatment fails to quantitatively convert the 22,000-dalton interferon to the 15,000-dalton interferoid since both are inactivated. When L cells are induced to make interferon in the presence of glycosylation inhibitors, either D-glucosamine or 2-deoxy-D-glucose, they produce approximately normal levels of antiviral activity. However, when such preparations are analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, little activity (<10%) migrates as either the 38,000-dalton or 22,000-dalton native interferons. The interferons and interferoid are antigenically and hydrophobically indistinguishable. These data suggest that induced mouse cells normally synthesize the interferoid as a precursor polypeptide that is either partially or extensively modified by carbohydrate additions to produce, respectively, the 22,000- and 38,000-dalton mouse interferons. Because interferoid is apparently fully biologically active without these moieties, chemical synthesis of such unmodified polypeptides or active fragments from them appears feasible. |

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.
