Cis-acting expression quantitative trait loci in mice (2005)

Doss, S, Schadt, E E, Drake, T A, Lusis, Aldons J

We previously reported the analysis of genome-wide expression profiles and various diabetes-related traits in a segregating cross between inbred mouse strains C57BL/6J (B6) and DBA/2J (DBA). By...

A locus on chromosome 7 determines myocardial cell necrosis and calcification (dystrophic cardiac calcinosis) in mice.

Ivandic, B T, Qiao, J H, Machleder, D, Liao, F, Drake, T A, Lusis, A J

Dystrophic cardiac calcinosis, an age-related cardiomyopathy that occurs among certain inbred strains of mice, involves myocardial injury, necrosis, and calcification. Using a complete linkage map...

Influence of the developmental state of valvular lesions on the antimicrobial activity of cefotaxime in experimental enterococcal infections.

Sullam, P M, Drake, T A, Täuber, M G, Hackbarth, C J, Sande, M A

Cefotaxime has little antimicrobial activity in vitro against most strains of enterococci, as measured by conventional MICs and MBCs. However, the MICs of cefotaxime against many enterococci are...

Value of serum tests in combined drug therapy of endocarditis.

Drake, T A, Hackbarth, C J, Sande, M A

Two in vitro tests, the serum killing level and the serum bactericidal rate assays, were evaluated for correlation with therapeutic efficacy in the rabbit model of Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis....

Effect of fibronectin on adherence of Staphylococcus aureus to fibrin thrombi in vitro.

Toy, P T, Lai, L W, Drake, T A, Sande, M A

Staphylococcus aureus binds to purified fibronectin in solution and may bind to fibronectin present in wound tissue. When incorporated into a solid fibrin thrombus, however, plasma fibronectin may...

Stability of viable-bacterium counts in liquid media used for preparation of inocula and subsequent impact on antimicrobial susceptibility test results.

Hindler, J A, Gonzalez, A H, Drake, T A

We evaluated the consequences of prolonging the time between initial bacterial inoculum suspension preparation and susceptibility test inoculation. Extending the current National Committee for...

Rapid identification of Mycobacterium avium complex in culture using DNA probes.

Drake, T A, Hindler, J A, Berlin, O G, Bruckner, D A

A commercial DNA probe procedure for identification of Mycobacterium avium complex isolates was evaluated for accuracy and applicability for use in the clinical laboratory. The test (Gen-Probe Rapid...

Effects of interleukin-1, lipopolysaccharide, and streptococci on procoagulant activity of cultured human cardiac valve endothelial and stromal cells.

Drake, T A, Pang, M

Fibrin is the primary constituent of the vegetation in infective endocarditis, and tissue factor expression is a major mechanism of coagulation activation on infected valves. To determine which cells...

Tissue factor is a major stimulus for vegetation formation in enterococcal endocarditis in rabbits.

Drake, T A, Rodgers, G M, Sande, M A

We examined the possible mechanisms of local initiation of coagulation in vegetation formation in enterococcal endocarditis by using a rabbit model. Contact activation and tissue factor expression by...

Selective cellular expression of tissue factor in human tissues. Implications for disorders of hemostasis and thrombosis.

Drake, T. A., Morrissey, J. H., Edgington, T. S.

Tissue factor (TF), the primary cellular initiator of the coagulation protease cascade, is implicated in having important roles in hemostasis, thrombogenesis, inflammation, and the cellular immune...

Minimally oxidized low-density lipoprotein induces tissue factor expression in cultured human endothelial cells.

Drake, T. A., Hannani, K., Fei, H. H., Lavi, S., Berliner, J. A.

Oxidatively modified low-density lipoprotein is present in atherosclerotic lesions and has been proposed to play an important role in atherogenesis through its biologic effects on vascular cells....

Expression of tissue factor, thrombomodulin, and E-selectin in baboons with lethal Escherichia coli sepsis.

Drake, T. A., Cheng, J., Chang, A., Taylor, F. B.

Disseminated intravascular thrombosis is a frequent complication of endotoxic shock, and modulation of endothelial cell hemostatic properties has been proposed to play a role in its pathogenesis...
