In situ recognition of autoantigen as an essential gatekeeper in autoimmune CD8 <sup>+</sup> T cell inflammation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A current paradigm states that non-antigen-specific inflammatory cues attract noncognate, bystander T cell specificities to sites of infection and autoimmune inflammation. Here we show that cues emanating from a tissue undergoing spontaneous autoimmune inflammation cannot recruit naive or activated bystander T cell specificities in the absence of local expression of cognate antigen. We monitored the recruitment of CD8(+) T cells specific for the prevalent diabetogenic epitope islet-specific glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit-related protein (IGRP)(206-214) in gene-targeted nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice expressing a T cell "invisible" IGRP(206-214) sequence. These mice developed islet inflammation and diabetes with normal incidence and kinetics, but their inflammatory lesions could recruit neither naive (endogenous or exogenous) nor ex vivo-activated IGRP(206-214)-reactive CD8(+) T cells. Conversely, IGRP(206-214)-reactive, but not nonautoreactive CD8(+) T cells rapidly homed to and accumulated in the inflamed islets of wild-type NOD mice. Our results indicate that CD8(+) T cell recruitment to a site of autoimmune inflammation results from an active process that is strictly dependent on local display of cognate pMHC and suggest that CD8(+) T cells contained in extralymphoid autoimmune lesions are largely autoreactive.

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.
