| Abstract | A single-round real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay based on SYBR green dye technology for the detection and quantification of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in serum was evaluated and compared with a qualitative nested PCR and the Cobas Amplicor HBV Monitor assay (Roche Molecular Diagnostics, Milan, Italy). The performance of the real-time PCR assay was evaluated in a routine clinical laboratory setting with a total of 212 clinical specimens. The sensitivity of the real-time PCR corresponded to 31 IU/ml (70 copies/ml), and comparison with the qualitative nested PCR showed significant concordance for 94% of samples. The linear curve over 7 log units, spanning 103–109 IU/ml (2.28 × 103 to 2.28 × 109 copies/ml), was observed in the quantitative determination. The interexperimental variability coefficient of the assay ranged from 0.22 to 0.39 and the intraexperimental variability coefficient from 0.24 to 0.41. By excluding values outside of the dynamic ranges of both tests, the HBV Monitor and the real-time PCR gave an agreement within ±1 log unit for 90% of samples, while those for the remaining 10% were found to be above 1 log unit but less than 1.5 log units. When the results inside and outside the dynamic range of the HBV Monitor were examined, 90% of the results were in agreement. In conclusion, the real-time PCR based on SYBR green technology proved suitable for routine diagnostic purposes, showing good sensitivity, high specificity, high reproducibility, and good linearity over a broad dynamic range of quantification. |

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.
