| Abstract | trans-3,3'-Bis[alpha-(trimethylammonio)methyl]azobenzene bromide (BisQ) is a potent agonist of the acetylcholine receptor (AcChoR) of Electrophorus electricus. BisQ is highly constrained, suggesting that its structure is complementary to the combining site of the AcChoR when the latter is in its activated state. Antibodies produced in rabbits to a conjugate of bovine serum albumin and a derivative of BisQ mimicked the binding characteristics of the AcChoR with respect to the order of binding of a variety of agonists and to the preferred recognition of decamethonium ion (an agonist) over hexamethonium ion (an antagonist). Immunization of three rabbits with purified anti-BisQ yielded antisera having binding characteristics of anti-AcChoR in that, by complement fixation and enzyme immunoassay, crossreactions with receptor preparations from rat, Torpedo, and eel could be demonstrated in sera of all three rabbits immunized. Two of the three rabbits showed signs of muscle weakness similar to that seen after immunization with the AcChoR. One of the rabbits was injected intramuscularly with neostigmine and showed temporary improvement. Another showed post-tetanic exhaustion of hind-limb muscles after stimulation of the sciatic nerve at 50 Hz. Antibodies reactive with the AcChoR, therefore, were elicited by immunization with an antibody to a potent ligand of the AcChoR without the necessity of isolating the receptor itself. A similar mechanism may play a part in the etiology of at least some autoimmune diseases in which antibodies to various other receptors are involved. |

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.
