Abstract
There has been a need to create stable and reproducible calibration and control materials for cardiac troponin I assays. Free troponin I, native or recombinant, has been known to be unstable, while troponin CI complex can be easily dissociated in low concentrations or in the presence of chelating agents. In order to overcome these difficulties, two single chain troponin I-C polypeptides have been engineered and expressed separately in Escherichia coli. One consists of a full-length of human cardiac troponin I and C, termed as ScTnI-C and the other consists of a stable fragment (aa28-110) of human cardiac troponin I and a full-length troponin C, termed as ScTnI-C-2. Both ScTnI-C and ScTnI-C-2 were purified to homogeneity by affinity chromatography using anti-cTnI monoclonal antibodies. ScTnI-C and ScTnI-C-2 have apparent molecular weights of 45 kD and 30 kD by SDS-PAGE, respectively. Stability studies by Stratus showed that ScTn I-C and ScTnI-C-2 were stable for 4 months at 2-8 degrees C and at least one year at -20 degrees C. When incubated in human serum at 37 degrees C, ScTnI-C-2 was more resistant to proteolysis than ScTnI-C. ScTnI-C can be recognized by all commercial TnI immunoassays with excellent activity. ScTnI-C-2 can be recognized by all immunoassays that target the stable region of cardiac troponin I. Judging by their performances, ScTnI-C and ScTnI-C-2 are both superior materials to be used as calibrators and controls in clinical laboratories.

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
