High impact information on Eragrostis

Taken together, these results are most consistent with the in vivo activity of dual-function Th/Teff cells that consume the lymphokines they secrete [1].
To compare the predictive potentials of the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC)-to-MIC ratio (AUC/MIC), the AUC above MIC (AUCeff), and the time above MIC (Teff), the kinetics of killing and regrowth of four bacterial strains exposed to monoexponentially decreasing concentrations of ciprofloxacin were studied in an in vitro dynamic model [2].
Teff in L-MDRI cells ranged from 3.6 to 26.6, demonstrating the importance of glucocorticoid structure to P-glycoprotein transport [3].
The rank order of Teff in MDR1 cells was: methylprednisolone> prednisolone > betamethasone > dexamethasone/prednisone > cortisol [3].
RESULTS: Mean (+/- SD) Teff in LLC-PK cells was 1.1 +/- 0.17, indicating that differences in structure and partition coefficient did not affect drug flux in the absence of P-glycoprotein [3].

Biological context of Eragrostis

The non-coding chloroplast DNA sequences of the trnL (UAA) intron and the trnL-trnF (GAA) intergeneric spacer (IGS), the coding sequences of nuclear 18S rDNA, and the transcription factor Vp1 of the cereal tef (Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter) were studied [4].

Anatomical context of Eragrostis

MHC class I-disparate grafts can be rejected by (a) class I-allospecific Teff cells that are unable to produce lymphokine but are responsive to exogenous T cell help; and (b) class I-allospecific dual-function Th/Teff cells that are able to both produce and consume soluble lymphokine [1].

Associations of Eragrostis with chemical compounds

Vermiculite did not show any promise as a buffer but NaHCO3 proved to be an effective buffer in diets based on Eragrostis hay and 70% concentrate diets [5].
Inhibition of spoilage and food-borne pathogens by lactic acid bacteria isolated from fermenting tef (Eragrostis tef) dough [6].
Teff for the i.v. group was 1 hour, while aerosolized cefazolin never produced lung levels exceeding 8 mcg/gm [7].

Gene context of Eragrostis

CONCLUSION: Buffalo and Eragrostis are important aeroallergens in the Cape, dispersed during the long dry, windy summer [8].
Critical study of the iron content of TEF (Eragrostis tef) [9].
