Abstract
There is evidence that in the acute axonal motor neuropathy (AMAN) subtype of Guillain-Barré syndrome antibodies to gangliosides, produced through molecular mimicry by antecedent Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) infection, attack gangliosides expressed in human peripheral nerve axolemma, inducing a primary axonal damage. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the T cell response has a role in AMAN pathogenesis. We isolated monocytes from 4 healthy subjects and 5 AMAN patients with antecedent C. jejuni infection and antibodies to GM1 and/or GD1a gangliosides. Immature dendritic cells expressing CD1 molecules cultured with autologous T cells were stimulated with 2 lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) extracted from C. jejuni strains containing GM1 and GD1a-like structures and with GM1 and GD1a. The T cell response to LPSs and to gangliosides was determined by measuring the release of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha. We observed a T cell response to both LPSs in controls and AMAN patients, whereas only AMAN patients showed T cell reactivity to gangliosides GM1 and GD1a with a tight correlation between T cell reactivity to the ganglioside and individual antibody responses to the same ganglioside. T cells responding to gangliosides were CD1c-restricted CD8 positive and CD27 negative. These findings indicate a contribution of cellular immunity in the pathogenesis of AMAN. A possible role for ganglioside-reactive T cells might be to facilitate the production of antibodies against gangliosides.

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
