Abstract
Structural analysis of the N-glycosylation of alfalfa proteins was investigated in order to evaluate the capacity of this plant to perform this biologically important post-translational modification. We show that, in alfalfa, N-linked glycans are processed into a large variety of mature oligosaccharides having core-xylose and core alpha(1,3)-fucose, as well as terminal Lewis(a) epitopes. In contrast, expression of the C5-1 monoclonal antibody in alfalfa plants results in the production of plant-derived IgG1 which is N-glycosylated by a predominant glycan having a alpha(1,3)-fucose and a beta(1,2)-xylose attached to a GlcNAc2Man3GlcNAc2 core. Since this core is common to plant and mammal N-linked glycans, it therefore appears that alfalfa plants have the ability to produce recombinant IgG1 having a N-glycosylation that is suitable for in vitro or in vivo glycan remodelling into a human-compatible plantibody. For instance, as proof of concept, in vitro galactosylation of the alfalfa-derived C5-1 mAb resulted in a homogenous plantibody harbouring terminal beta(1,4)-galactose residues as observed in the mammalian IgG.

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 it
