Nucleotide Oligomerization Binding Domain-Like Receptor Signaling Enhances Dendritic Cell-Mediated Cross-Priming In Vivo
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nucleotide oligomerization binding domain (Nod)-like receptors are critical cytosolic sensors for the recognition of bacterial peptidoglycan. However, their role in the induction of dendritic cell (DC)-mediated cross-priming remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that injecting ligands for Nod1 and Nod2 along with Ag into wild-type mice significantly enhanced the cross-priming of Ag-specific CD8+ T cells by CD8alpha+ DCs, as assessed from the expansion of IFN-gamma+ CD8+ T cells, CTL activity against Ag-pulsed targets, and the rejection of transplanted tumors expressing the cognate Ag. The enhancement of CD8alpha+ DC-mediated cross-priming was likely due to the upregulation of Ag cross-presentation and of costimulatory molecules. Our findings collectively indicate that Nod1/2 signaling is critical for the optimal induction of DC cross-priming in vivo, which may offer an alternative therapeutic pathway in cancer and hosts refractory to TLR signals or paralyzed by viral evasion strategy.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
