Abstract
Immunity to viruses must be tightly controlled to avoid pathology. Receptors and ligands of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family play important roles in controlling lymphocyte activation and survival during an immune response. The role of specific TNF receptor (TNFR) family members in antiviral immunity depends on the stage of the immune response and can vary with the virus type and its virulence. Here, we focus on five members of the TNFR family that are prominently expressed on CD8(+) T cells during viral infections, namely, 4-1BB (CD137), CD27, OX40 (CD134), GITR, and TNFR2. 4-1BB, CD27, OX40, and GITR have primarily prosurvival roles for CD8(+) T cells during viral infection, although under some circumstances 4-1BB, GITR, or CD27 signals can limit immunity. Although TNFR2 can be costimulatory under some circumstances, its main role in CD8(+) T-cell responses during viral infection appears to be in contraction of the response. Several TNF family ligands are being explored as adjuvants for viral vaccines, and agonistic antibodies to TNFR family members are being investigated for immunotherapy of chronic viral infection alone and in combination with checkpoint blockade. Such therapies will require thorough and specific optimization to avoid pathology induced by hyperstimulation of these pathways.

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
