Suppression of the IgE Antibody Response by Glutaraldehyde-Modified Ovalbumin: Dissociation between Loss of Antigenic Reactivity and Ability to Induce Suppression
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ovalbumin (OA) was substituted with glutaraldehyde (GA) at various GA:OA ratios and several preparations were isolated by gel filtration according to molecular weight. Two GA-substituted but unpolymerized preparations (OA1-L and OA1-H) and 3 polymerized preparations of increasing molecular weight (OA4, OA175 and OA-POL) were obtained and were assessed for their ability to react with IgG and IgE antibodies directed against the native OA molecule, as well as for their ability to suppress the IgE antibody response. The results show that while both polymerized and unpolymerized GA-modified preparations lost their reactivity towards antinative OA antibodies, to a considerable extent, their ability to suppress the OA/IgE antibody response was directly dependent on polymerization. Pretreatment of CBA mice with unpolymerized OA preparations was ineffective while the effect of pretreatment with three polymers (OA4, OA175 and OA-POL) was directly dependent on the size of the polymer. The ability to induce IgG antibodies or delayed hypersensitivity to OA was not suppressed.

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.
