Preparation and Characterization of Monopegylated Human Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Conjugates of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) attached to polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains were prepared using amine-reactive chemistry. Molecular masses of the PEGs were 20, 30, and 40 kDa. The monopegylated forms were isolated by anion-exchange chromatography and characterized by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), size-exclusion chromatography, mass spectrometry, reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), peptide mapping, in vitro cell proliferation bioassays, and rat pharmacokinetic studies. The pegylation site of the purified monopegylated products was identified as the N-terminus of the protein. All forms of pegylated GM-CSF were able to stimulate TF-1 cell proliferation in a colorimetric bioassay at concentrations equal to or lower than that of GM-CSF. Pharmacokinetic studies in rats demonstrated 32-fold, 27-fold, and 40-fold extensions in elimination half-lives for 20, 30, and 40 kDa PEG-GM-CSF, respectively, as compared with nonmodified GM-CSF.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
