Expression of the selectable marker gene <i>bsrm</i> in BALB/MK cells induces apoptosis by overproduction of hydrogen peroxide
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Transduction of the retroviral vector LBmSN, which expresses the blasticidin S resistance gene bsrm in the murine keratinocyte cell line BALB/MK, induces death in these cells. Cell death is caused by a factor called DOKEB (death factor obtained from keratinocytes expressing bsrm), which is released before the cells' death. In this report we describe and discuss the purification and characterization of DOKEB. Our results were as follows. (i) The 5-day-old medium from the modified BALB/MK cells with LBmSN was used for purification and characterization by filtration and chromatography: DOKEB was a stable and highly hydrophilic compound, with a molecular mass less than that of 1 amino acid. (ii) The conditioned medium containing DOKEB was reactive against thiobarbituric acid and dichlorofluorescein diacetate. (iii) DOKEB activity was neutralized by the incubation of the conditioned medium with catalase. Therefore, our conclusion is that the BALB/MK cells expressing bsrm produce a large amount of hydrogen peroxide, which catalyzes the process of apoptosis of those cells.

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.
