Our data provides a rationale and a novel mechanism, which includes immunity to modified self-proteins as a disease modifier, rather than autoimmunity as a primary pathological mechanism.

And sentences like 4 are what, following Geach [1960], I'll call attributive uses of "good", because "good" functions as a predicate modifier, rather than as a predicate in its own right.

In contrast to many other tarantula toxins that affect VGSCs, HNTX-IV at subsaturating concentrations did not alter activation and inactivation kinetics in the physiological range of voltages, while very large depolarization above +70 mV could partially activate toxin-bound hNav1.7 channel, indicating that HNTX-IV acts as a gating modifier rather than a pore blocker.

This interpretation, which considers C3c (and subclinical inflammation in general) as effect modifier rather than a mechanistic factor downstream of particle exposure, raises the question of which other factors are determinants of immune activation.

However, this was beyond the scope of this paper which sought to focus on associations between depression and social relationships and the role of family structure as an effect modifier rather than as an exposure itself.

However, it should be noted that the within-trial interaction analysis provides an estimate of the magnitude of potential treatment-effect modifier rather than proving beyond doubt that these interactions exist at the study level.

The exceptions are TACI mutations, which are seen in up to 10% of CVID cases but occur also in 1% of the healthy population, and thus must be regarded as disease modifiers rather than disease-causing gene defects.
