| Abstract | The virions of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) contain two species of HDV-specific protein, a large and a small form of hepatitis delta antigen (HDAg). We examined the role of individual HDAgs in virion assembly in cotransfection experiments. First, we constructed a replication-competent HDV mutant expressing only the small HDAg. When cotransfected with a plasmid expressing hepatitis B virus surface antigens to the HuH-7 cells, the mutant did not produce HDV virions, whereas the wild-type HDV clone did. Therefore, though the small HDAg is important for viral replication and is incorporated into the virus, the small-form delta antigen by itself is insufficient for virion formation. When the system was co-transfected with an additional plasmid providing the large HDAg, the HDV virion was then recovered. There was also evidence suggesting that the large HDAg could be copackaged into the HBsAg particles, without the presence of the HDV genome and the small HDAg. The results indicate a crucial role of the large HDAg in HDV assembly. |

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.
