Expression of the Giardia lamblia cyst wall protein 2 in Lactococcus lactis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this study, Lactococcus lactis was engineered to express Giardia lamblia cyst wall protein 2 (CWP2) at three different subcellular locations, intracellular, secreted or cell-surface-anchored, using nisin as an inducing agent. CWP2 expression did not appear to be detrimental to L. lactis viability. No particular subcellular location of CWP2 expression offered any advantages over the others with respect to decreased toxicity towards the bacteria. All recombinant lactococci experienced a similar reduction in growth rate when induced. It was determined whether recombinant lactococcal cells engineered for cell surface expression of CWP2 were capable of inducing a CWP2-specific mucosal IgA antibody response. Recombinant lactococci were successful at inducing CWP2-specific IgA antibodies. Moreover, in a pilot challenge experiment, mice immunized with these recombinant lactococci demonstrated a significant (63 %) reduction in cyst output. Thus, it has been demonstrated that G. lamblia CWP2 may be expressed in L. lactis and that recombinant lactococcal cells elicit Giardia-specific antibodies which reduce cyst shedding in a murine model.

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.
