| Abstract | A two-site monoclonal antibody-enzyme immunoassay (MEIA) for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was developed that uses two monoclonal anti-CEA antibodies, which recognize two different epitopes in the peptide moiety of CEA. The assay was sensitive to 0.5 micrograms/liter and had a measuring range of 0.5-200 micrograms of CEA per liter. It was highly specific inasmuch as none of three known CEA-related substances, 'nonspecific crossreacting antigens 1 and 2' (NCA-1 and NCA-2) and biliary glycoprotein I (BGP I), reacted in the assay. NCA-2 (meconium antigen) is very similar to CEA. None of five commercially available CEA assays were able to differentiate between CEA and NCA-2. With one exception (colon), normal tissue extracts did not react in the MEIA even when tested at very high concentrations. Sera from a total of 180 healthy individuals and patients with malignant and nonmalignant disease were analyzed for CEA levels by using the MEIA and in parallel a conventional radioimmunoassay. A significant increase in specificity for carcinomas was obtained with the MEIA. This was essentially due to a decrease of MEIA CEA values in sera from patients with nonmalignant disease. The CEA values in the group of carcinoma patients (colon, pancreas, lung, and breast) were the same in the two assays. |

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.
