    Se presenta una propuesta de enseñanza, utilizando un material concreto que nos permite desarrollar algunos temas del programa de Matemática correspondiente al 2do año de la Escuela Industrial Superior de la ciudad de Santa Fe. La selección del material tiene que ver con una búsqueda de relaciones con otras asignaturas del mismo nivel (u otros) porque creemos que la enseñanza y aprendizaje de los contenidos de nuestra área tienen mejor recepción en los alumnos cuando se la contextualiza, cuando se evidencia su necesidad, valor o colaboración en otras áreas de estudio. El abordaje transdisciplinario requiere de mentes creativas, abiertas y capaces de resolver situaciones problemáticas específicas desde muchas perspectivas. Esto indica que el docente debe diseñar estrategias de enseñanza basadas en una concepción cognitiva del aprendizaje, favoreciendo el tratamiento de los contenidos disciplinares desde una perspectiva crítica y reflexiva; en la cual el joven pueda poner en juego sus propias capacidades y posibilidades para participar activamente del proceso y construir el conocimiento.Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educació

    <div><p>Epitope-antibody-reactivities (EAR) of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs) determined for 75,534 peptides by microarray analysis demonstrate that roughly 9% of peptides derived from 870 different human protein sequences react with antibodies present in IVIG. Computational prediction of linear B cell epitopes was conducted using machine learning with an ensemble of classifiers in combination with position weight matrix (PWM) analysis. Machine learning slightly outperformed PWM with area under the curve (AUC) of 0.884 vs. 0.849. Two different types of epitope-antibody recognition-modes (Type I EAR and Type II EAR) were found. Peptides of Type I EAR are high in tyrosine, tryptophan and phenylalanine, and low in asparagine, glutamine and glutamic acid residues, whereas for peptides of Type II EAR it is the other way around. Representative crystal structures present in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) of Type I EAR are PDB 1TZI and PDB 2DD8, while PDB 2FD6 and 2J4W are typical for Type II EAR. Type I EAR peptides share predicted propensities for being presented by MHC class I and class II complexes. The latter interaction possibly favors T cell-dependent antibody responses including IgG class switching. Peptides of Type II EAR are predicted not to be preferentially presented by MHC complexes, thus implying the involvement of T cell-independent IgG class switch mechanisms. The high extent of IgG immunoglobulin reactivity with human peptides implies that circulating IgG molecules are prone to bind to human protein/peptide structures under non-pathological, non-inflammatory conditions. A webserver for predicting EAR of peptide sequences is available at <a href="http://www.sysmed-immun.eu/EAR" target="_blank">www.sysmed-immun.eu/EAR</a>.</p></div

    Ratio heat map based on amino acid propensities of IVIG “binding” versus “non-binding” peptides for the 2<sup>nd</sup> degree unclassifiable peptides.

    <p>The rows represent the individual amino acids, the columns the positions within the 15mer peptide. The heat map color reflects the ratio between the PWM values (frequency of the occurrence of a given amino acid at a given peptide position) for the “binding” and the “non-binding” peptides in the set. Pink color indicates high propensity (overrepresentation in “binding” peptides), while blue color indicates low propensity (underrepresentation in “binding” peptides). Standard hierarchical clustering using Euclidean distance was performed on rows and columns.</p

    <p>Peptides of the training set were assigned to the groups 1<sup>st</sup> degree classifiable and unclassifiable by our “simplified machine learning using human-understandable attributes” (ML-simple) approach. They were further divided into peptides reacting with IVIG (“binding”; panel A) or not reactive with IVIG (“non-binding”; panel B). In a next step each peptide was assigned values using two ratio PWMs. The x-axis values derive from a PWM that was based on all peptides present in the training set. They are calculated by multiplying the ratios of the relative frequencies of each amino acid at each position in a peptide sequence for the group “binding” (panel A) and “non-binding” (panel B), respectively. The y-axis values were calculated in the same way, however, only the 1<sup>st</sup> degree unclassifiable peptides present in the training set were used as input of the PWM. Each peptide is represented by one dot. Peptides in red in panel A correspond to the type I EAR while those in black depict the type II EAR.</p

    Ratio PWM of amino acids in peptides that were “binding” versus those that were “non-binding” to IVIG antibodies.

    <p>The PWM has been created using all 15-mer peptides from the training set. Each component of the PWM corresponds to the ratio of the frequency of the occurrence of a given amino acid (row) at a given peptide position (column) in “binding” vs. “non-binding” peptides. Amino acids Y, W, and Y have the highest binding ratios, whereas amino acids E, Q, and N have the lowest ratios. Green shading represent amino acids that are more abundant in “binding” peptides than in “non-binding” ones (threshold>2). In contrast, red shading labels amino acids that are more abundant in “non-binding” peptides (threshold <0.7). The range of values in each column and row is indicated by minima (Min) and maxima (Max).</p
