Abstract
Aging is associated with a decline in T cell activation and proliferation, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Recent findings suggest that lipid rafts act as a platform in the initiation of T cell activation by selectively recruiting signaling proteins associated with formation of the initial complex of signal transduction. We tested the hypothesis that lipid raft properties are altered in T lymphocytes from elderly, healthy individuals in comparison with young subjects. Results showed that the cholesterol content of lipid rafts derived from these cells was consistently higher in the case of elderly donors and that membrane fluidity was decreased. In addition, lipid rafts coalescence to the site of T cell receptor engagement was impaired in T cells from elderly donors. The recruitment of p56(lck), linker of activated T cells, and their tyrosine-phosphorylated forms to lipid rafts was decreased in activated T cells from aged individuals. CD45 was not recruited to the lipid raft fractions in either group of subjects. Our data suggest that some properties of lipid rafts are altered in aging, and this finding may be part of the causes for the decline in T cell functions that are observed in elderly individuals.

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 it
