Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy Sampling in Renal Transplantation: Interstitial Cellular Infiltrates and Major Histocompatibility Complex Class-II Antigen Expression in Renal Tubular Cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The dynamics of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class-II (DR) antigen products in renal tubular cells and cellular infiltrations in the interstitium of the kidney following renal transplantation without immunosuppressive therapy are presented. DR antigen in 27 normal kidneys and in 18 of 19 kidneys transplanted as autograft showed no DR-antigen expression on their tubular cells. These DR-antigen-negative tubular cells could be induced to express the antigen during courses of untreated rejection both in primary (n = 6) and repeat (n = 4) allografts. Parallel to the increasing DR-antigen expression in the allograft, the autologous kidney expressed this antigen with the same time dependency and with the same intensity. Graft infiltrating cells were evaluated by daily fine-needle aspiration biopsy and core biopsy. Induction of DR antigen was associated with a significant infiltration of blastogenic cells and monocytes/macrophages in the allograft. During rejection of the allograft no cellular infiltrate was noted in the autograft, but during an initial time period after allograft removal cellular infiltrates were seen. Following both courses of rejection DR antigen returns to negative by 6-8 days as did blastogenic cells and monocytes/macrophages in the autograft interstitium. Inducible antigen expression in normally DR-antigen-negative allograft parenchymal cells during rejection is shown to depend on inflammatory cells in the graft. The antigen expression is not restricted to the tissue transplanted, but also affects autologous tissue of the host organism.

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.
