| Abstract | Hepatocytes harvested by collagenase perfusion of rat liver were attached to collagen-coated microcarriers and injected intraperitoneally into congeneic or allogeneic bilirubin-UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.17)-deficient (Gunn) rats or allogeneic analbuminemic (NAR) rats. Five days later, the microcarriers were observed to have formed conglomerates chiefly on the anterior surface of the pancreas. Scanning electron microscopy showed hepatocytes attached to the granular collagen-coated surface of the microcarriers and newly formed connective tissue. Light microscopy revealed that the microcarriers formed a lattice with the collagen tissue; hepatocytes were seen within this lattice or on the surface of the microcarriers. Hepatocyte plasma membranes were nucleoside-diphosphatase (NDPase)-positive. Newly formed blood islands, blood vessels containing erythrocytes and leukocytes and NDPase-positive endothelium were observed in close proximity to the hepatocytes and fibroblasts. Transmission electron microscopic examination showed hepatocytes with microvilli and nucleoid-containing peroxisomes with catalase activity. Hepatocytes were present for up to 2 months in congeneic recipients, the longest period of observation after transplantation. After normal microcarrier-attached hepatocytes were transplanted into allogeneic Gunn rats, bilirubin glucuronides were present in bile for 6 days. When congeneic Gunn rat recipients were used, bilirubin glucuronides were present in bile throughout the study (28 days); this was accompanied by reduction of serum bilirubin concentrations to nearly normal levels. After injection of normal hepatocytes into allogeneic NAR rats, plasma albumin concentration progressively increased for 6 days and then declined. In NAR recipients which were immunosuppressed with cyclosporin A, peak plasma albumin levels were reached in 14 days and persisted nearly at that level throughout the study (28 days). |

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.
