14-3-3 and enolase abundances in the CSF of Prion diseased rats
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is characterized by an extended asymptomatic preclinical phase followed by rapid neurodegeneration. There are no effective treatments. CJD diagnosis is initially suspected based upon the clinical presentation of the disease and the exclusion of other etiologies. Neurologic symptoms are assessed in combination with results from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker abundances, electroencephalography (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and in some countries, real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC). Inconsistencies in sensitivities and specificities of prion disease biomarker abundance in CSF have been described, which can affect diagnostic certainty, but the utility of biomarkers for prognosis has not been fully explored. The clinical presentation of CJD is variable, and factors such as prion protein polymorphic variants, prion strain, and other genetic or environmental contributions may affect the disease progression, confounding the appearance or abundance of biomarkers in the CSF. These same factors may also affect the appearance or abundance of biomarkers, further confounding diagnosis. In this study, we controlled for many of these variables through the analysis of serial samples of CSF from prion-infected and control rats. Prion disease in laboratory rodents follows a defined disease course as the infection route and time, prion strain, genotype, and environmental conditions are all controlled. We measured the relative abundance of 14-3-3 and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in CSF during the course of prion infection in rats. Even when disease-related, environmental and genetic variables were controlled, CSF 14-3-3 and NSE abundances were variable. Our study emphasizes the considerable diagnostic and prognostic limitations of these prion biomarkers.

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.
