| Abstract | We have combined freeze-fracture and electrophysiological methods in a study of gap junction formation between reaggregated Novikoff hepatoma cells. Cell clumps are dissociated with EDTA, and the resulting single cells are allowed to reaggregate (5-180 min) in loose pellets in the presence of calcium at 37 degrees . The earliest electron microscopic evidence for the genesis of new junctions is the appearance of flattened regions of the plasma membrane with a relative paucity of small intramembranous particles. These regions contain instead loosely organized groupings of 9- to 11-nm intramembranous particles, which are seen on the A face of the fractured plasma membrane, while corresponding pits occur on the membrane B face. We have termed the specialized membrane regions 'formation plaques.' They are seen as early as 5 min after reaggregation and are quite numerous by 30 min. Larger plaques are observed at later times. Plaques seen at 30 min are consistently matched with other plaques on apposed cells, although the extracellular space separating these structures still exceeds 10 nm. By 60 min, some matched plaques display a reduced extracellular space, resembling that of normal gap junctions. Between 30 and 60 min, aggregates of closely packed particles on A faces and hexagonally arranged pits on B faces frequently appear in the formation plaques. The aggregates, which are indistinguishable from small gap junctions, appear to enlarge over the subsequent 2-hr period as the number of unaggregated 9- to 11-nm particles declines. Microelectrode studies demonstrate progressive increases in the percent of interfaces containing lowresistance junctions and in the degree of elctrical coupling in preparations incubated up to 2 hr. Coupling is first detected at about the same time as particle aggregates (or formation plaques with reduced extracellular spaces), and increases as aggregate sizes increase. |

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.
