Abstract
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) search out and destroy pathogenic cells, such as those infected with viruses. The biochemistry laboratory at the University of Alberta (Edmonton, Alta.) studies the molecular mechanisms used by these effectors, and this review covers research on this topic primarily from this group. Research there began with the discovery of the granzyme genes and the realization that granzyme B (GrB) had an unusual substrate specificity. Cleavage at aspartate residues gave us the clue that caspases, key regulators of apoptosis, were important substrates. However, it is now clear that mitochondria are also important in controlling granzyme-induced apoptosis. This led to the discovery that the proapoptotic member of the Bcl2 family, Bid, is also activated by GrB. Cleaved Bid then translocates to the mitochondria, resulting in the release of antagonists of inhibitors of apoptosis proteins. The evolution of our understanding of the molecular basis of CTL killing is presented.

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.
