| Abstract | Adenoviruses (AdVs) have been associated with a wide variety of human disease and are increasingly recognized as viral pathogens that can cause significant morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Early detection of AdV DNA in plasma and sterile fluids has been shown to be useful for identifying patients at risk for invasive AdV disease. Because of the large number of existing Adv types, few real-time quantitative AdV polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays published effectively cover all AdV types. We designed a series of AdV PCR primers and probes and empirically multiplexed them into 2 separate real-time PCR assays to quantitatively detect all 49 serotypes of human AdV (types 1-49) available from American Type Culture Collection. We then subsequently multiplexed all the primers and probes into 1 reaction. The sensitivity of these assays was determined to be less than 10 copies per reaction (500 copies/mL plasma). In a retrospective evaluation, we detected all 84 clinical AdV isolates isolated in cell culture from patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation between 1981 and 1987. Prospective analysis of 46 consecutive clinical samples submitted for AdV testing showed greater sensitivity and equal specificity of the AdV PCR than viral culture. This real-time PCR assay allows rapid, sensitive, and specific quantification of all currently defined AdVs into either 2 or 1 multiplex assay for clinical samples. |

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.
