Oral colonization and immune responses to<i>Streptococcus gordonii</i>expressing a pertussis toxin S1 fragment in mice
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The ability of a recombinant Streptococcus gordonii RJM4 expressing the N-terminal 179-amino acid fragment of S1 subunit of pertussis toxin (PT) as a SpaP/S1 fusion protein was tested for oral colonization and immunogenicity in BALB/c mice. Following two consecutive oral inoculations, 100% of the mice were colonized by the recombinant strains for up to 9 weeks and >60% of the animals still retained the strains after 19 weeks. RJM4 recovered from the animals continued to express the SpaP/S1 fusion protein indicating the stability of the fusion gene in vivo. Secretory (S) IgA antibody against PT could be detected in saliva from RJM4-colonized mice but not from the control groups of mice. SIgA against SpaP was also detected in saliva from the RJM4-inoculated and the S. gordonii SL3 (control)-inoculated mice. Serum antibodies against PT and SpaP were not detected in these animals. In conclusion, long-term oral colonization of BALB/c mice with our recombinant S. gordonii was established and the colonization elicited mucosal antibodies against PT and SpaP.

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.
