Regulation of cell survival during B lymphopoiesis: increased pre-B cell apoptosis in CD24-transgenic mouse bone marrow
Bibliographic record
Abstract
CD24 (heat-stable antigen) is expressed in a developmentally regulated fashion by B cell precursors in mouse bone marrow (BM), but its role in B lymphopoiesis remains obscure. A slight overexpression of CD24 in transgenic (Tg) mice leads to depletion of B lymphoid cells in BM. The present study examines whether CD24 is involved in apoptotic selection of B lineage cells under normal microenvironmental conditions in vivo. Double immunofluorescence labeling and flow cytometry have been used to quantitate the apoptotic rates of phenotypically defined B cell populations in BM of CD24-Tg mice. Apoptosis of pre-B cells expressing cytoplasmic mu heavy chains of IgM but lacking surface (s)IgM was increased both ex vivo and in short-term culture, while the number of pre-B cells was halved compared to BM of normal mice. In contrast, B220+mu- pro-B cells and sIgM+ B lymphocytes showed no significant change in either apoptosis or number. The findings provide evidence that CD24 can play a role in vivo in modulating pre-B cell apoptosis, a quality control checkpoint in B cell development.

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.
