Abstract
The human severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) is a highly infectious virus that causes severe respiratory infections in humans. The spike envelope glycoprotein of SARS-CoV, the main determinant of SARS-CoV tropism, was isolated and used to pseudotype a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-based vector. Spike-pseudotyped HIV vector was generated and evaluated in vitro on well-differentiated human airway epithelial cells and bronchial explants and in vivo in murine airways. The spike envelope was less efficient at promoting HIV vector transduction of murine airway epithelium than an optimized deletion mutant of the Zaire ebolavirus envelope glycoprotein (NTD6L), which was used as a benchmark. However, spike-pseudotyped HIV vector was substantially more efficient than NTD6L-pseudotyped vector on human airway epithelium as demonstrated by lacZ gene transfer in primary cultures of epithelial cells and bronchial explants. In addition, this study shows that spike-pseudotyped HIV -based vector can efficiently transduce human dendritic cells and epithelial cells of the esophagus, which may have implications in investigating mechanisms of SARS-CoV pathogenesis. Spike-pseudotyped HIV-based vector is a novel lung-directed gene transfer vehicle that holds promise for the treatment of genetic lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis or alpha(1)-antitrypsin deficiency.

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 it
