| Abstract | Two distinct types of granulomas were produced in the draining lymph nodes by immunizing guinea pigs with Mycobacterium bovis BCG or Mycobacterium leprae, as reported earlier (Narayanan et al., J. Pathol. 134:253-265, 1981). In the BCG-induced granuloma there is successful containment, killing, and degradation of the organisms with the presence of epithelioid cells and fibrosis. M. leprae, on the other hand, induces a granuloma where there is an absence of organization of the cells, failure to completely degrade the organisms, absence of epithelioid cells, and minimal fibrosis. By using a macrophage-specific monoclonal antibody and an anti-Ia monoclonal antibody and applying the immunoperoxidase, immunofluorescence, and fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis techniques, the epithelioid cells of the BCG granuloma were found to have macrophage-specific antigen, but not detectable amounts of Ia antigen. This suggests that these cells have a close relationship to other cells of the mononuclear phagocyte series with which they share a common antigen. The absence of Ia antigen, on the other hand, suggests that epithelioid cells may not be involved in antigen presentation or other accessory cell functions where the presence of Ia antigen is crucial. The macrophages in the M. leprae-induced granuloma expressed both macrophage-specific and Ia antigens. |

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.
