Novel α4-integrin ligands on an endothelial cell line
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The unique combination of adhesion molecules expressed on endothelial cells is thought to mediate the specificity of leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions. In this study, murine endothelial cell lines were used as a model to identify novel adhesion molecules that participate in these cellular interactions. Lymphocyte adhesion to the continuous endothelial cell lines mHEVa and mHEVc required alpha 4-integrin. Interestingly, lymphocyte alpha 4-integrin bound to VCAM-1 as well as an unknown ligand on the mHEVa cell line. We have demonstrated that this VCAM-1-independent adhesion to the mHEVa cells was not mediated by other known alpha 4-integrin ligands (fibronectin, alpha 4-integrin itself, or MAdCAM-1). Two novel alpha 4-integrin ligands (p50 and p10) were isolated from the mHEVa cell line but not the mHEVc cell line by B cell alpha 4-integrin-specific ligand binding of radiolabeled mHEV cell membrane proteins. These results provide the first direct evidence that novel ligands for alpha 4-integrin exist on membranes from endothelial cells. Key words: B cell, T cell, endothelial cells, integrin, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, VCAM-1.

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.
