The expression and role of Fas ligand in intestinal inflammation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fas ligand (FasL) is involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases and immune privilege. We examined the expression of FasL in the enteric nervous system (ENS) in murine colitis and guinea-pig ileitis. We studied FasL immunoreactivity, functional integrity of the ENS, severity of colitis, and distribution of neutrophils in wild type and B6/gld mice that lack functional FasL. In ileitis, the distribution of FasL, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was examined. FasL expression was increased in the ENS of wild type mice with colitis, but decreased labelling of nerve fibres was noted in B6/gld mice. Neutrophils were more abundant and widely distributed in B6/gld mice. Colitis was more severe and persistent in B6/gld mice 7 days after induction. Functional parameters of intestinal secretion and motility in B6/gld mice were the same as controls. In ileitis, FasL expression was increased in the guinea-pig ENS and returned to control levels following the resolution of inflammation. While T cells were not present in the ENS of controls, they were observed during inflammation, but were excluded from ganglia. The number of enteric neurons was unchanged over the course of inflammation. The expression of FasL is altered in intestinal inflammation and contributes to its resolution in experimental colitis.

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.
