Abstract
Many of the stromal-derived signals and factors that regulate B lymphopoiesis have been identified. We review recent evidence from our laboratory that shows that there are at least three phases during B-cell development when cells direct their own maturation, independent of stromal cells. Following the expression of the preB-cell receptor (preBCR), cells acquire the ability to proliferate in low levels of interleukin-7 (IL-7), which acts as a self-selecting mechanism to expand cells that have successfully expressed a preBCR in environments that are non-permissive to preBCR- cells. Second, the preBCR is required for a contact-mediated event between B-cell progenitors. Disruption at this stage prevents the further maturation of progenitors to the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-responsive stage. Finally, the transition from IL-7 receptor to mature antigen receptor-based signaling is enhanced by a novel member of the tachykinin family, hemokinin-1. This series of maturation, survival, and differentiation signals is generated by B-lineage cells as they progress through developmental checkpoints on the way to becoming functionally mature cells.

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
