RANTES Plays an Important Role in the Evolution of Allograft Transplant-induced Fibrous Airway Obliteration
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Although lung transplantation is a widely applied therapeutic modality for end-stage pulmonary disease, the long-term survival following this procedure is limited by the development of bronchiolitis obliterans (BO). We investigated the role of RANTES, a C-C chemokine, in the evolution of fibrous airway obliteration (FAO) using a rat heterotopic tracheal transplant model. RANTES was highly expressed in infiltrating mononuclear cells in both allogeneic and isogeneic grafts as revealed by immunohistochemistry. Using a miniosmotic pump, neutralizing anti-RANTES antibody was locally and continuously infused to allografts, whereas recombinant rat RANTES was administered to isografts. Anti-RANTES antibody treatment decreased the number of CD4(+) infiltrating cells in allotracheas and preserved luminal patency compared with those of allocontrols. However, RANTES infusion in isografts did not induce FAO, even though CD4(+) cell migration was increased by this treatment. It appears that RANTES is relevant to the recruitment of CD4(+) cells and the development of FAO in the process of allorejection. Local administration of anti-RANTES might be a therapeutic option for BO following lung transplantation.

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.
