Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Alpha(1)-proteinase inhibitor (API) was coupled at the C-terminus of a human insulin-like growth factor (IGF) analog to facilitate its production in insect cells. This fusion protein significantly increased thymidine incorporation into HL-60 cells as compared with the incorporation observed with an equivalent molar mixture of the IGF analog and API. The M351E variant of API has been previously shown to reduce aggregate formation in prokaryotic expression systems. When the oxidation-sensitive methionine 351 of the inhibitor was changed to glutamate, the M351E variant was secreted in larger amounts from insect cells than the corresponding fusion protein with wild-type API. The M351E fusion protein and the corresponding chimera containing the wild-type API were tested for their capacity to inhibit human neutrophil elastase. The M351E variant was a more potent elastase inhibitor than the fusion protein containing the wild-type analog, whereas the proliferative activity of both chimeras was identical. The described mitogenic effect of the chimera and the improved anti-elastase activity of the M351E variant are two ideal properties for therapeutic agents acting in pathological situations where cell proliferation and inhibition of neutrophil elastase have to take place simultaneously, such as during wound healing.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
