Hobbs, Maurine R.; Granger, Donald Lee | Inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) promoter CCTTT repeat polymorphism: relationship to in vivo nitric oxide production/NOS activity in an asymptomatic malaria-endemic population | Polymorphisms in the inducible nitric oxide synthase gene (NOS2) promoter have been associated with clinical outcome from malaria. These include a CCTTT repeat (CCTTTn) 2.5 kilobases upstream from the NOS2 transcription start site, and two single nucleotide substitutions: G-->C at position -954 (G-9... | Papua New Guinea; Oceanic Ancestry Group; Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid | 2003 |

Francis, Leslie | Recent developments in genetic diagnosis: some ethical and legal implications | This essay outlines some of the ethical complexities genetic technology poses in two areas of decision-making: when to perform genetic testing and what to do with the information gained from genetic testing. | Genetic Technology; Genetic Testing; Ethics | 1986 |

Lopansri, Bert; Stoddard, Gregory J.; Hobbs, Maurine R.; Granger, Donald Lee | Elevated plasma phenylalanine in severe malaria and implications for pathophysiology of neurological complications. | Cerebral malaria is associated with decreased production of nitric oxide and decreased levels of its precursor, l-arginine. Abnormal amino acid metabolism may thus be an important factor in malaria pathogenesis. We sought to determine if other amino acid abnormalities are associated with disease sev... | Dystonia; Phenylalanine Hydroxylase; Tyrosine | 2006-06-01 |

Hunt, Steven C. | Association of egg consumption and calcified atherosclerotic plaque in the coronary arteries: The NHLBI Family Heart Study | Background and Aims: Eggs are a ubiquitous and important source of dietary cholesterol and nutrients, yet their relationship to coronary heart disease (CHD) remains unclear. While some data have suggested a positive association between egg consumption and CHD, especially among diabetic subjects, lim... | | 2014-01-01 |

Digre, Kathleen B.; Gouw, Launce G.; Harris, Catherine P.; Haines, John H.; Ptacek, L.J. | Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia with retinal degeneration: clinical, neuropathologic, and genetic analysis of a large kindred. | The autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias (ADCA) comprise a heterogeneous group of neurologic disorders characterized by degeneration of the cerebellum, spinal cord, and brainstem. Genetic analysis has revealed two loci, SCA1 on chromosome 6p, and SCA2 on chromosome 12q, responsible for some ADCA. W... | Retinal Degeneration; Cerebellar Ataxia; Genetic Analysis | 1994-08 |

Kriesel, John D.; Spruance, Spotswood L. | Treatment of herpes simplex labialis. | Recurrent herpes simplex labialis is associated with mild morbidity, but remains a significant problem for people with frequent and/or severe recurrences. Both topical and peroral episodic antiviral treatments of recurrences are modestly effective at reducing the duration of signs and symptoms. Rece... | Randomized Controlled Trials; Steroids; Drug Administration Routes | 2002 |

Kriesel, John D.; Spruance, Spotswood L.; Daynes, Raymond A. | Nucleic acid vaccine encoding gD2 protects mice from herpes simplex virus type 2 disease. | Nucleic acid vaccinations with plasmids pWW65, containing the sequence for herpes simplex type 2 (HSV-2) gD2, and pRSVnt, lacking the gD sequence, were studied. Groups of mice were immunized with pWW65 alone, pWW65 plus 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D3 (D3), or pRSVnt. Clinical disease (vaginitis), serum an... | Mice, Inbred BALB C; Plasmids; Viral Vaccines | 1996 |

Baehr, Wolfgang; Rao, Narayanam V. | Molecular characterization of a third member of the guanylyl cyclase-activating protein subfamily | The mammalian retina contains at least two guanylyl cyclases (GC1 and GC2) and two guanylyl cyclase-activating proteins (GCAP1 and GCAP2). Here we present evidence of the presence of a new photoreceptor-specific GCAP, termed GCAP3, which is closely related to GCAP1. The sequence similarity of GCAP3 ... | Amino Acid Sequence; Cloning, Molecular; Gene Expression Regulation | 1999 |

Thomas, Kirk R.; Capecchi, Mario R. | Introduction of homologous DNA sequences into mammalian cells induces mutations in the cognate gene. | Injection of homologous DNA sequences into nuclei of cultured mammalian cells induces mutations in the cognate chromosomal gene. It appears that these mutations result from incorrect repair of a heteroduplex formed between the introduced and the chromosomal sequence. This phenomenon is termed 'heter... | Animals; Cell Line; Drug Resistance, Microbial; Fibroblasts; Mice; Models, Genetic; Neomycin; Plasmids | 1986-11-06 |

Capecchi, Mario R.; Mansour, Suzanne L.; Thomas, Kirk R. | Disruption of the proto-oncogene int-2 in mouse embryo-derived stem cells: a general strategy for targeting mutations to non-selectable genes. | Gene targeting--homologous recombination of DNA sequences residing in the chromosome with newly introduced DNA sequences--in mouse embryo-derived stem cells promises to provide a means to generate mice of any desired genotype. We describe a positive nd negative selection procedure that enriches 2,00... | Animals; Clone Cells; Restriction Mapping; Stem Cells | 1988-11-24 |

Francis, Leslie | Roles of the family in making health care decisions for incompetent patients | This article is about the roles of the family in making health care decisions for incompetent patients. It argues that complex moral reasons call for the participation of families in decision making for incompetents. However, these moral reasons do not support a single model of the family's role for... | Family; Health Care Decisions; Patients; Family Rights | 2006-06-16 |

Kriesel, John D.; Maulden, Sarah Annamarie; Spruance, Spotswood L. | Anti-interleukin-6 antibodies inhibit herpes simplex virus reactivation. | Herpes simplex viruses (HSVs) infect epithelial cells, become localized in neurons, and can reactivate in response to a variety of stimuli, including ultraviolet light and hyperthermia. The sequence of gene activation during viral replication is known, but the molecular linkage between exogenous sti... | Mice, Inbred BALB C; Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha; Virus Activation | 1997 |

Francis, Leslie | Justice through trust: disability and the Outlier problem in Social Contract Theory | The article focuses on the flaws of the social contract theory. It explores how hostile the social contract as a bargaining process has been thought to distance disabled people from contract-based justice. It analyzes the argument that the history of social contract theory exclude the people with di... | Consensus, social sciences; Discrimination; Social contract; Social ethics; Sociology of disability | 2005-10 |

Eichwald, Ernst; Capecchi, Mario R.; Thomas, Kirk R. | Mouse model for the delta F508 allele of cystic fibrosis | The most common cause of cystic fibrosis is a mutation that deletes phenylalanine 508 in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The delta F508 protein is misprocessed and degraded rather than traveling to the apical membrane. We used a novel strategy to introduce the delta F508 ... | Digestive System; Disease Models, Animal; Electrolytes; Mice, Inbred C57BL | 1995-10 |

Capecchi, Mario R.; Bernstein, Kenneth E.; Thomas, Kirk R. | Targeting genes for self-excision in the germ line | A procedure is described that directs the self-induced deletion of DNA sequences as they pass through the male germ line of mice. The testes-specific promoter from the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene was used to drive expression of the Cre-recombinase gene. Cre was linked to the selectable marker... | Cre-recombinase; Hoxa3; Chimeric mice | 1999-06-15 |

Francis, Leslie | Eminent domain compensation in the Western states: a critique of the fair market value model | Both the United States Constitution and the constitutions of the states of the intermountain west and the Pacific Coast prohibit the state from taking property without paying just compensation. Thus, there are two basic issues in any eminent domain case. First, has governmental interference with pro... | Eminent domain; Compensation; Governmental interference; Fair Market Value | 2006-06-16 |
