Vasostatin‐1 antigenic epitope mapping for induction of cellular and humoral immune responses to chromogranin <scp>A</scp> autoantigen in <scp>NOD</scp> mice
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The chromogranin A (ChgA) 29-42 sequence is the antigenic epitope for the BDC2.5 CD4(+) T-cell receptor in NOD mice (H-2(g7) ). We have now characterized the binding register of the ChgA 29-42 peptide for the I-A(g7) molecule. Truncation of the peptide demonstrated that the KCVLEVISD sequence 34-42 is the binding register and extension of this sequence by flanking residues increased its binding affinity and antigenic capacity. We employed anti-ChgA peptide antibodies generated against different fragments of ChgA for immunostaining of pancreatic islet sections from NOD mice. A strong immuno-staining pattern was observed for the ChgA 17-38 peptide antibodies that overlap with the ChgA 29-42 sequence. Moreover, sera from diabetic NOD mice showed elevated titers of autoantibodies to the ChgA 29-42 peptide. These findings indicate that peptides from the N-terminal region of ChgA are able to induce cellular and humoral immune responses in NOD mice.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
