| Abstract | The very lengthy and complicated dosing schedule of the current anthrax vaccine adsorbed, which was licensed in the USA for the prevention of cutaneous anthrax infection, calls for the development of an efficacious and easily administrable vaccine to prevent against the most lethal form of anthrax infection, the inhalation anthrax. We propose to develop a nasal anthrax vaccine using anthrax protective antigen (PA) protein carried by liposome–protamine–DNA (LPD) particles.PA was incorporated in LPD particles and nasally dosed to mice. The resulting PA-specific immune response and lethal toxin neutralization activity were measured.Mice nasally immunized with PA incorporated into LPD particles developed both systemic and mucosal anti-PA responses. The anti-PA immunities induced included the production of anti-PA antibodies (IgG and IgM in the serum and IgA in nasal and lung mucosal secretions) and the proliferation of splenocytes after in vitro stimulation. The anti-PA IgG subtype induced was mainly IgG1. Finally, anthrax lethal toxin neutralization activity was detected both in the serum and in the mucosal secretions.The anti-PA immune response induced by nasal PA incorporated in LPD was comparable to that induced by nasal PA adjuvanted with cholera toxin or subcutaneously injected PA adjuvanted with aluminum hydroxide. |

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.
