Abstract
Helicobacter pylori strains that harbour the Cag pathogenicity island (Cag PAI) induce interleukin (IL)-8 secretion in gastric epithelial cells, via the activation of NF- kappa B, and are associated with severe inflammation in humans. To investigate the influence of Cag PAI-mediated inflammatory responses on H. pylori adaptation to mice, a selection of H. pylori clinical isolates (n = 12) was cag PAI genotyped and tested in co-culture assays with AGS gastric epithelial cells, and in mouse colonization studies. Six isolates were shown to harbour a complete cag PAI and to induce NF- kappa B activation and IL-8 secretion in AGS cells. Of the eight isolates that spontaneously colonized mice, six had a cag PAI(-) genotype and did not induce pro-inflammatory responses in these cells. Mouse-to-mouse passage of the two cag PAI(+) -colonizing strains yielded host-adapted variants that infected mice with bacterial loads 100-fold higher than those of the respective parental strains (P= 0.001). These mouse-adapted variants were affected in their capacity to induce pro-inflammatory responses in host cells, yet no changes in cag PAI gene content were detected between the strains by DNA microarray analysis. This work provides evidence for in vivo selection of H. pylori bacteria with a reduced capacity to induce inflammatory responses and suggests that such bacteria are better adapted to colonize mice.

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
