Monocyte Recruitment into the Lungs in Pneumococcal Pneumonia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The recruitment of monocytes into the alveolar spaces is crucial for clearing infections and resolving the inflammatory response. We have previously reported the effect of acute pneumonia on monocyte transport through the bone marrow, and the present study concerns their clearance from the blood and migration into the lung airspaces. Dividing monocytes were labeled with the thymidine analog, 5'-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU). Whole blood containing the labeled monocytes (MO(BrdU)) was transfused from either donor rabbits with pneumonia or from uninfected controls into recipients with pneumonia, where they were detected in blood and tissues using a double immunostaining method. The results show that MO(BrdU) from infected animals rapidly disappeared from the circulation (P < 0.05), preferentially sequestered in the infected lung tissue within 1 h (22.0 +/- 3.3% versus 6.0 +/- 0.4%, pneumonic region versus peripheral blood, P < 0.05), and accumulated to a greater degree in pneumonic airspaces than control monocytes 48 h after transfusion (3.9 +/- 0.5% versus 1.1 +/- 0.1%, P < 0.05). We conclude that immature monocytes released from the marrow by pneumonia sequester rapidly in lung microvessels but their migration in pneumonic airspaces is delayed.

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.
