Antigastric Autoantibodies in Ferrets Naturally Infected with <i>Helicobacter mustelae</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Infection with Helicobacter pylori has been associated with induction of autoantibodies that cross-react with the gastric mucosa. There have been discordant reports as to whether or not these autoantibodies arise due to molecular mimicry between H. pylori and host cell antigens on parietal cells. In this study, we investigated whether molecular mimicry by H. mustelae causes autoantibodies in infected ferrets. Serum from H. mustelae-infected ferrets reacted with parietal cells in the ferret gastric mucosa but not with duodenal or colonic mucosa. These sera did not react with the blood group A epitope on erythrocytes or H. mustelae lipopolysaccharide, and absorption with H. mustelae whole cells or red blood cells did not remove autoantibodies. In conclusion, ferrets naturally infected with H. mustelae generate antibodies that react with parietal cells, but these autoantibodies are not due to molecular mimicry.

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.
