Surfactant protein interactions with neutral and acidic phospholipid films
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The captive bubble tensiometer was employed to study interactions of phospholipid (PL) mixtures of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) or 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-[phospho-rac-(1-glycerol)] (POPG) at 50 microg/ml with physiological levels of the surfactant protein (SP) A SP-B, and SP-C alone and in combination at 37 degrees C. All surfactant proteins enhanced lipid adsorption to equilibrium surface tension (gamma), with SP-C being most effective. Kinetics were consistent with the presence of two adsorption phases. Under the conditions employed, SP-A did not affect the rate of film formation in the presence of SP-B or SP-C. Little difference in gamma(min) was observed between the acidic POPG and the neutral POPC systems with SP-B or SP-C with and without SP-A. However, gamma(max) was lower with the acidic POPG system during dynamic, but not during quasi-static, cycling. Considerably lower compression ratios were required to generate low gamma(min) values with SP-B than SP-C. DPPC-POPG-SP-B was superior to the neutral POPC-SP-B system. Although SP-A had little effect on film formation with SP-B, surface activity during compression was enhanced with both PL systems. In the presence of SP-C, lower compression ratios were required with the acidic system, and with this mixture, SP-A addition adversely affected surface activity. The results suggest specific interactions between SP-B and phosphatidylglycerol, and between SP-B and SP-A. These observations are consistent with the presence of a surface-associated surfactant reservoir which is involved in generating low gamma during film compression and lipid respreading during film expansion.

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.
