Fimbrial-Specific Monoclonal Antibody-Based ELISA for European Potato Strains of <i>Erwinia chrysanthemi</i> and Comparison to PCR
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A murine hybridoma cell line, named 6A6, was developed to produce monoclonal antibodies for serological detection of European potato strains of Erwinia chrysanthemi. The monoclonal antibodies were of the immunoglobulin G 2b type and were shown to react with a fimbrial antigen by immuno-gold electron microscopy, and with the fibrillin protein by Western blotting. In enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the monoclonal antibody reacted with all but two strains of E. chrysanthemi isolated from potato. One non-reactive strain originated from Australia and therefore was likely a different biovar, and the other strain was of unknown origin. The monoclonal antibody also reacted with 20 out of 36 strains of E. chrysanthemi isolated from hosts other than potato. A triple-antibody ELISA test utilizing monoclonal antibody 6A6 successfully detected E. chrysanthemi in infected potato stems and tubers but sensitivity was limited to about 10 7 CFU/ml, compared to a sensitivity of 10 3 CFU/ml for a polymerase chain reaction test using published primers directed to the pectate lyase gene.

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.
