Outbreak of acute viral hepatitis due to hepatitis E virus in Hyderabad (2007)

Sarguna, P., Rao, A., Sudha Ramana, K. N.

Purpose: A waterborne outbreak of viral hepatitis occurred in the old city of Hyderabad from March through August 2005. An attempt was made to study the outbreak clinically, serologically, and...

Inability of Incipient Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Colonies to Establish in a Plot with a High Density of Solenopsis (Diplorhoptrum) Colonies (2004)

S. B. Vinson, A. Rao

Although the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, has spread across the southern United States, its population varies widely from one area to another. Earlier research has demonstrated...

Blockade of T-cell activation by dithiocarbamates involves novel mechanisms of inhibition of nuclear factor of activated T cells. (1997)

Martínez-Martínez, S., Armesilla, Angel L, Aramburu, J., Luo, C., Rao, A., ...

Dithiocarbamates (DTCs) have recently been reported as powerful inhibitors of NF-kappaB activation in a number of cell types. Given the role of this transcription factor in the regulation of gene...

Immobilizing polygons against a wall (1996)

Overmars, M., Rao, A., Schwarzkopf, O., Wentink, C.

A familiar task in industrial applications is grasping an object to con- strain its motions. When the external forces and torques acting on the object are uncertain or varying, form-closure grasps...

Hunting Voronoi vertices (1994)

Ferrucci, V., Overmars, M., Rao, A., Vleugels, J.

Given three objects in the plane, a Voronoi vertex is a point that is equidistant simultaneously from each. In this paper, we consider the problem of computing Voronoi vertices for planar objects of...

Interaction of calcineurin with a domain of the transcription factor NFAT1 that controls nuclear import.

Luo, C, Shaw, K T, Raghavan, A, Aramburu, J, Garcia-Cozar, F, Perrino, B A, ...

The nuclear import of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT)-family transcription factors is initiated by the protein phosphatase calcineurin. Here we identify a regulatory region of NFAT1, N...

Immunosuppressive drugs prevent a rapid dephosphorylation of transcription factor NFAT1 in stimulated immune cells.

Shaw, K T, Ho, A M, Raghavan, A, Kim, J, Jain, J, Park, J, ...

The immunosuppressive drugs cyclosporin A and FK506 interfere with the inducible transcription of cytokine genes in T cells and in other immune cells, in part by preventing the activation of NF-AT...

Brain potentials associated with conscious aftereffects induced by unseen stimuli in a blindsight subject

Weiskrantz, L., Rao, A., Hodinott-Hill, I., Nobre, A. C., Cowey, A.

The study is of brain activity in a blindsight subject (D.B.), who reports conscious visual afterimages of stimuli of which he is unaware when they are presented. This contrast offered a unique...

Tumor necrosis factor alpha gene regulation in activated T cells involves ATF-2/Jun and NFATp.

Tsai, E Y, Jain, J, Pesavento, P A, Rao, A, Goldfeld, A E

The human tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) gene is one of the earliest genes expressed upon the activation of a T or B cell through its antigen receptor. Previous experiments have demonstrated...

T-cell receptor stimulation elicits an early phase of activation and a later phase of deactivation of the transcription factor NFAT1.

Loh, C, Carew, J A, Kim, J, Hogan, P G, Rao, A

We show here that NFAT1 is rapidly activated, then slowly deactivated, by stimulation of T cells through their antigen receptor. Within minutes of T-cell receptor stimulation, NFAT1 is...

Recombinant NFAT1 (NFATp) is regulated by calcineurin in T cells and mediates transcription of several cytokine genes.

Luo, C, Burgeon, E, Carew, J A, McCaffrey, P G, Badalian, T M, Lane, W S, ...

Transcription factors of the NFAT family play a key role in the transcription of cytokine genes and other genes during the immune response. We have identified two new isoforms of the transcription...

Blockade of T-cell activation by dithiocarbamates involves novel mechanisms of inhibition of nuclear factor of activated T cells.

Martínez-Martínez, S, Armesilla, A L, Aramburu, J, Luo, C, Rao, A, ...

Dithiocarbamates (DTCs) have recently been reported as powerful inhibitors of NF-kappaB activation in a number of cell types. Given the role of this transcription factor in the regulation of gene...

Cyclosporin A sensitivity of the NF-kappa B site of the IL2R alpha promoter in untransformed murine T cells.

McCaffrey, P G, Kim, P K, Valge-Archer, V E, Sen, R, Rao, A

We have investigated the characteristics of IL2R alpha gene induction in untransformed murine T cells. Induction of IL2R alpha mRNA by TCR/CD3 ligands in a murine T cell clone and in short-term...

Normal peripheral T-cell function in c-Fos-deficient mice.

Jain, J, Nalefski, E A, McCaffrey, P G, Johnson, R S, Spiegelman, B M, Papaioannou, V, ...

The ubiquitous transcription factors Fos and Jun are rapidly induced in T cells stimulated through the T-cell antigen receptor and regulate transcription of cytokines, including interleukin 2, in...

A common factor regulates both Th1- and Th2-specific cytokine gene expression.

Rooney, J W, Hodge, M R, McCaffrey, P G, Rao, A, Glimcher, L H

Murine T helper cell clones are classified into two distinct subsets, T helper 1 (Th1) and T helper 2 (Th2), on the basis of cytokine secretion patterns. Th1 clones produce interleukin-2 (IL-2),...

Early Immune Response to the Components of the Type III System of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Children with Cystic Fibrosis

Corech, R., Rao, A., Laxova, A., Moss, J., Rock, M. J., Li, Z., ...

The lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) are colonized initially by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is associated with progressive lung destruction and increased mortality. The pathogenicity of...

Direct current cardioversion does not cause cardiac damage: evidence from cardiac troponin T estimation

Rao, A, Naeem, N, John, C, Collinson, P, Canepa-Anson, R, Joseph, S
