| Abstract | A trophic protein (sciatin) purified from sciatic nerves has been shown to enhance the morphological development and to promote the maintenance of skeletal muscle cells in vitro [Markelonis, G. J. & Oh, T. H. (1979) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 76, 2470-2474]. We have elicited a specific antiserum against purified sciatin in rabbits. By using this antiserum, we have examined whether sciatin is also required for the initial differentiation of avian myogenic cells in vitro. Sciatin was found to be a component of chicken embryo extract, a constituent of culture medium required for myogenesis in vitro, by an immunodiffusion assay and by NaDodSO4 gel electrophoresis of immunoprecipitates. The removal of sciatin from chicken embryo extracts by immunoprecipitation with antiserum against sciatin completely inhibited myogenesis. When myogenic cells were grown in culture medium from which sciatin had been removed, the cells failed to differentiate beyond the myoblast stage. However, when sciatin (25 microgram/ml) was added to the sciatin-absorbed culture medium, normal myogenesis ensued. Furthermore, myogenic cells underwent normal myogenesis in the absence of embryo extract if sciatin (25 microgram/ml) was added to the culture medium. These results demonstrate that sciatin is the component of chicken embryo extract required for myogenesis and that the protein influences the initial differentiation of myogenic cells in vitro. |

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.
