Development of an indirect ELISA based on a truncated S protein of the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is a highly contagious, enteric disease of swine caused by the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). To find a suitable ELISA method to assess the infection of PEDV and the effectiveness of vaccines, we developed and evaluated an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA) based on a truncated recombinant spike (S) protein expressed in Escherichia coli. The parameters of the iELISA were optimized, and the cutoff value determined as 0.259 by analyzing optical density (OD) values of 80 PEDV negative sera confirmed by western blot. Repeatability tests revealed that the coefficients of variation of positive sera within and between runs were both less than 10%. Cross-reactivity assays demonstrated that iELISA was PEDV-specific. A virus neutralization test with sera of 7 different OD values showed a positive correlation between the OD values and virus neutralization. The results suggest this iELISA is specific, sensitive, and repeatable. Further studies should focus on the relationship between OD values of sera and its virus neutralization.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
