| Abstract | The neuraminidase (NA) in viral surface is one of the main subtype-specific antigen of influenza type A viruses. Neuraminidase is an enzyme to break the bonds between hemagglutinin (HA) and sialic acid to release newly formed viruses from infected cells. In this study, the H3N2 subtype virus NA genes were sequenced and NA proteins were screened for B-cell epitopes and assessed based on immunoinformatics. Based on this results, four peptides DR6, EY7, VG8 and RE8 (covering amino acid residues 151–156, 368–374, 398–405 and 428–435, respectively) of the NA protein were synthesized artificially. These peptides were used to immunize New Zealand rabbits subcutaneously to raise antisera. Experimental results showed that these four peptides were capable of eliciting antibodies against H3N2 viruses in a specific and sensitive feature, detected in vitro by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Moreover, hemadsorption anti-releasing effects took place in three three-antisera-mixtures at a dilution of 1:40. Alignment using NA gene database showed that amino acid residues in these four epitope peptides were substituted at specific sites in all the NAs sequenced in this study. It was suggested that these NA epitope peptides might be used in combination with HA proteins as vaccine antigens. |

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.
