| Abstract | Liver tissue obtained from a chimpanzee during the acute phase of an experimental non-A, non-B (NANB) hepatitis virus infection was studied by a sensitive immunocytochemical staining procedure for the presence of NANB viral antigens. Initial investigations were conducted with a model system of hepatitis B virus (HBV) antigens for purposes of comparing two immunocytochemical staining methods. Of these two procedures, an immunoperoxidase procedure, utilizing an avidin-biotinylated enzyme complex, was at least 40-fold more sensitive than a conventional immunoperoxidase technique for the detection of HBV-specific tissue antigens. Utilization of the avidin-biotin-amplified immunoperoxidase staining procedure, in conjunction with four primary convalescent antisera obtained from NANB hepatitis-implicated donors, resulted in the observation of NANB virus-associated antigen in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes from an infected chimpanzee liver. These same human antisera were not reactive with a number of uninfected control cells nor with cells infected with HBV, hepatitis A virus, or cytomegalovirus. Preincubation of one of these convalescent NANB sera, or IgG derived thereof, with an acute-phase serum obtained from a NANB hepatitis virus-infected chimpanzee abolished the antibody reactivity. We conclude from these observations that selected convalescent sera from NANB hepatitis virus-infected patients contain low levels of antibody that specifically react with a cytoplasmic antigen associated with NANB virus-infected hepatocytes. |

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.
