Abstract
The study characterizes African swine fever virus (ASFV) proteins that can serve as potential drug targets, leveraging insights from genomic and proteomic analyses. Through high-throughput proteomic analysis, several ASFV proteins, including P34, E199L, MGF360-15R, and E248R, were found to interact with key cellular pathways such as intracellular and Golgi vesicle transport, endoplasmic reticulum organization, lipid biosynthesis, and cholesterol metabolism. Notably, Rab proteins, crucial regulators of the endocytic pathway, were identified as significant interactors of P34 and E199L, suggesting their role in ASFV infection. Additionally, proteins like MGF-505-7R, MGF-360-10L, and MGF360-9L were shown to inhibit the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, thereby evading the host immune response and promoting viral virulence. The I73R protein was identified as a Z-DNA binding protein, providing structural insights that could aid in the design of targeted inhibitors. The findings highlight several ASFV proteins as critical players in the virus's ability to hijack host cellular mechanisms and evade immune responses. These proteins represent promising targets for the development of antiviral drugs and vaccines, offering new avenues for combating ASFV infections.

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 it
