| Abstract | Purified human platelets were found to contain a collagenase inhibitor that is immunologically, functionally, and chromatographically identical to that produced by human skin fibroblasts. None of the other formed elements of the blood (erythrocytes, granulocytes, mononuclear cells) possessed detectable quantities of this protein. Virtually all the collagenase inhibitor contained within platelets was released following platelet activation with thrombin. Similarly, platelet activation accompanying blood clotting also resulted in the release of this protein, the ratio of plasma to serum inhibitor levels being approximately equal to 0.5. When platelets were subjected to subcellular fractionation, essentially all of the platelet-associated collagenase inhibitor was found to be located in the alpha-granule. Studies with radiolabeled inhibitor failed to detect uptake of inhibitor by platelets. Furthermore, immunologically reactive protein of similar quantity to that found in platelets was identified in human megakaryocyte lysates. Thus, the data suggest that the collagenase inhibitor is endogenously produced and stored within platelet alpha-granules. The platelet-derived collagenase inhibitor was antigenically identical to the collagenase inhibitor from human skin fibroblasts in double immunodiffusion and, like its fibroblast counterpart, inhibited collagenase on a 1:1 stoichiometric basis. When subjected to several of the chromatographic procedures utilized to purify the fibroblast protein, the platelet inhibitor behaved in an indistinguishable manner. Platelet factor 4, previously reported to be a collagenase inhibitor, was found to be immunologically unrelated to the platelet-derived collagenase inhibitor. Furthermore, platelet factor 4 displayed no collagenase inhibitory activity. Although the function of platelet-derived collagenase inhibitor is unknown, such a protein released by activated platelets may serve to regulate collagen turnover during the early stages of the inflammatory process. |

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.
