Engineered recombinant ovomucoid third domain can desensitize Balb/c mice of egg allergy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the in vivo desensitization efficacy of a hypoallergenic variant of egg white ovomucoid third domain (DIII) in Balb/c mice model. We mapped the immunodominant B-cell epitopes of ovomucoid in Balb/c mice. A hypoallergenic ovomucoid third domain (GMFA) mutant isoform having ablated allergenicity against egg allergic patient's sera was used to desensitize DIII-sensitized Balb/c mice by intraperitoneal injections. Ovomucoid DIII generated high levels of plasma histamine and specific immunoglobulin (Ig)E levels, and increased Th2 type cytokine (IL-4). On the other hand, the allergic response of mice desensitized with the GMFA was found to be significantly inhibited and abrogated by prevention of anaphylaxis reactions, low histamine levels and increased Th1-type cytokine (INF-gamma). It was found that significantly higher levels of IL-10 and IL-12 were secreted in the desensitized group. Desensitization with the GMFA antigen also suppressed synthesis of DIII specific-IgE levels and enhanced specific IgG2a and IgG levels compared with the group treated with the DIII antigen. The present results indicated that hyposensitization with the GMFA can desensitize or down-regulate the allergic response in Balb/c mice and this hypoallergenic variant of ovomucoid DIII can shift an ongoing allergen-specific Th2 response towards a Th1 skewed response.

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.
