| Abstract | A divalent vaccine containing equal weights of Neisseria meningitidis group Y and group W135 capsular polysaccharides was inoculated subcutaneously into groups of 32 military recruit volunteers at doses of 10, 25, 50, and 100 micrograms in 10-microliter/microgram volumes. At 4 weeks, the two higher doses induced significantly greater binding antibody responses than did the two lower doses. Differences in response were not found between the two higher doses or between the two lower doses. An additional 32 volunteers received a dose of 25 micrograms in a 20-microliter/microgram volume. Binding antibody response to this vaccine did not differ from the response to doses of 10 and 25 microgram in 10-microliter/microgram volumes. In contrast, bactericidal antibody responses did not differ among doses. Bactericidal antibody was induced in 100% of individuals with low (greater than 4 log2) preexisting serum bactericidal activity, regardless of dose. Bactericidal antibody nonresponse was restricted to individuals with high preexisting serum bactericidal titers. The discrepant dose response between binding and bactericidal antibody resulted from the induction of nonlytic antibody by the higher doses. We conclude that there are no advantages to doses in excess of 5 micrograms of these two chemically similar polysaccharides for the target population of young adult military recruits. |

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.
