Suppression of IgE Antibody Production in Sensitized Mice and Rats by Tolerogenic Conjugates of Synthetic Hydrophilic Polymers with Antigen or Hapten: Effect on Antigen-Induced Histamine Release from Peritoneal Mast Cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
IgE antibodies were produced in mice and rats by immunization with ragweed pollen extract (RAG) or dinitrophenylated ovalbumin (DNP3-OA). Treatment of these animals with tolerogenic conjugates of (i) the antigen (RAG or OA) with monomethoxypolyethylene glycol (mPEG), or (ii) DNP with polyvinyl alcohol (DNP-PVA) resulted, within 7-14 days, in a fall in circulating IgE antibodies and in mast cell sensitivity, as assessed by the radioallergosorbent test (RAST) and in the in vitro antigen-induced histamine release (HR) test, respectively. The reduction in responsiveness was more marked in mice than rats; 10 days after a booster immunization, the IgE antibody titres in the RAG-mPEG-treated group of mice were approximately 10-fold lower than in the saline-treated group, with a 100-fold difference in cell sensitivity. DNP-PVA treatment of mice produced a more than 10-fold reduction in IgE anti-DNP titres with a substantial reduction in histamine release.

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.
