A comparison of immunogenicity and protective immunity against experimental plague by intranasal and/or combined with oral immunization of mice with attenuated<i>Salmonella</i>serovar Typhimurium expressing secreted<i>Yersinia pestis</i>F1 and V antigen
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We investigated the relative immunogenicity and protective efficacy of recombinant X85MF1 and X85V strains of DeltacyaDeltacrpDeltaasd-attenuated Salmonella Typhimurium expressing, respectively, secreted Yersinia pestis F1 and V antigens, following intranasal (i.n.) or i.n. combined with oral immunization for a mouse model. A single i.n. dose of 10(8) CFU of X85MF1 or X85V induced appreciable serum F1- or V-specific IgG titres, although oral immunization did not. Mice i.n. immunized three times (i.n. x 3) with Salmonella achieved the most substantial F1/V-specific IgG titres, as compared with corresponding titres for an oral-primed, i.n.-boosted (twice; oral-i.n. x 2) immunization regimen. The level of V-specific IgG was significantly greater than that of F1-specific IgG (P<0.001). Analysis of the IgG antibodies subclasses revealed comparable levels of V-specific Th-2-type IgG1 and Th-1-type IgG2a, and a predominance of F1-specific Th-1-type IgG2a antibodies. In mice immunized intranasally, X85V stimulated a greater IL-10-secreting-cell response in the lungs than did X85MF1, but impaired the induction of gamma-interferon-secreting cells. A program of i.n. x 3 and/or oral-i.n. x 2 immunization with X85V provided levels of protection against a subsequent lethal challenge with Y. pestis, of, respectively, 60% and 20%, whereas 80% protection was provided following the same immunization but with X85MF1.

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.
