Cutting Edge: Signaling Lymphocytic Activation Molecule-Associated Protein Controls NKT Cell Functions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) is a fatal immunological disorder that typically manifests following EBV infection. XLP patients exhibit a number of immune defects including abnormal T, B, and NK lymphocyte function. These defects have been attributed to mutations of Src homology 2 domain-containing gene 1A (SH2D1A), the gene encoding signaling lymphocytic activation molecule-associated protein (SAP), an intracellular adaptor molecule expressed in lymphocytes. We have observed that SAP knockout (SAPKO) mice and humans with XLP have a complete lack of CD1d-restricted NKT cells. As expected, SAPKO mice injected with the NKT cell agonist, alpha-galactosylceramide failed to generate NKT cell IFN-gamma or IL-4. Furthermore, in contrast to wild-type littermates, SAPKO mice coinjected with OVA and alpha-galactosylceramide failed to mount OVA-specific CTL responses. These data suggest that an absence of NKT cells may underlie part of the immune dysregulation seen in SAPKO mice and in XLP patients.

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.
