| Abstract | The brain amyloid of Alzheimer disease (AD) may potentially be imaged in patients with AD by using neuroimaging technology and a radiolabeled form of the 40-residue beta-amyloid peptide A beta 1-40 that is enabled to undergo transport through the brain capillary endothelial wall, which makes up the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in vivo. Transport of 125I-labeled A beta 1-40 (125I-A beta 1-40) through the BBB was found to be negligible by experiments with both an intravenous injection technique and an internal carotid artery perfusion method in anesthetized rats. In addition, 125I-A beta 1-40 was rapidly metabolized after either intravenous injection or internal carotid artery perfusion. BBB transport was increased and peripheral metabolism was decreased by conjugation of monobiotinylated 125I-A beta 1-40 to a vector-mediated drug delivery system, which consisted of a conjugate of streptavidin (SA) and the OX26 monoclonal antibody to the rat transferrin receptor, which undergoes receptor-mediated transcytosis through the BBB. The brain uptake, expressed as percent of injected dose delivered per gram of brain, of the 125I,bio-A beta 1-40/SA-OX26 conjugate was 0.15 +/- 0.01, a level that is 2-fold greater than the brain uptake of morphine. The binding of the 125I,bio-A beta 1-40/SA-OX26 conjugate to the amyloid of AD brain was demonstrated by both film and emulsion autoradiography performed on frozen sections of AD brain. Binding of the 125I,bio-A beta 1-40/SA-OX26 conjugate to the amyloid of AD brain was completely inhibited by high concentrations of unlabeled A beta 1-40. In conclusion, these studies show that BBB transport and access to amyloid within brain may be achieved by conjugation of A beta 1-40 to a vector-mediated BBB drug delivery system. |

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.
