Optimized toolkit for the manipulation of immortalized axolotl fibroblasts
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The axolotl salamander model has broad utility for regeneration studies, but this model is limited by a lack of efficient cell-culture-based tools. The Axolotl Limb-1 (AL-1) fibroblast line, the only available immortalized axolotl cell line, was first published over 20 years ago, but many established molecular biology techniques, such as lipofectamine transfection, CRISPR-Cas9 mutagenesis, and antibiotic selection, work poorly or remain untested in AL-1 cells. Innovating technologies to manipulate AL-1 cells in culture and study their behavior following transplantation into the axolotl will complement in-vivo studies, decrease the number of animals used, and enable the faster, more streamlined investigation of regenerative biology questions. Here, we establish transfection, mutagenesis, antibiotic selection, and in-vivo transplantation techniques in axolotl AL-1 cells. These techniques will enable efficient culture with AL-1 cells and guide future tool development for the culture and manipulation of other salamander cell lines.

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.
