T15-Idiotype-Negative B Cells Dominate the Phosphocholine Binding Cells in the Preimmune Repertoire of T15i Knockin Mice
Bibliographic record
Abstract
T15i knockin (KI) mice express a H chain that is encoded by a rearranged T15 VDJ transgene which has been inserted into the J(H) region of chromosome 12. This T15H chain combines with a kappa22-33 L chain to produce a T15-Id+ Ab having specificity for phosphocholine (PC). Inasmuch as T15-Id+ Abs dominate the primary immune response to PC in normal mice, it was surprising to find that 80% of the PC-dextran-binding B cells in unimmunized homozygous T15i KI mice were T15-Id-. Analysis of L chains expressed in these T15-Id-, PC-specific B cells revealed that two L chains, kappa8-28 and kappa19-15, were expressed in this population. The V(kappa) region of these L chains was recombined to J(kappa)5, which is typical of L chains present in PC-specific Abs. When T15i KI mice were immunized with PC Ag, T15-Id+ B cells expanded 6-fold and differentiated into Ab-secreting cells. There was no indication that the T15-Id- B cells either proliferated or differentiated into Ab-secreting cells following immunization. Thus, T15-Id- B cells dominate the PC-binding population, but they fail to compete with T15-Id+ B cells during a functional immune response. Structural analysis of T15H:kappa8-28L and T15H:kappa19-15L Abs revealed L chain differences from the kappa22-33 L chain which could account for the lower affinity and/or avidity of these Abs for PC or PC carrier compared with the T15-Id+ T15H:kappa22-33L Ab.

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.
