Toll-like receptor mRNA levels in alveolar macrophages after inhalation of endotoxin
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pattern-recognition receptors that have been implicated in the initiation of innate immune responses upon the first encounter with invading pathogens. The airways are frequently exposed to various types of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the environment or from pathogens. The current study was designed to determine the effect of LPS on TLR gene expression in human alveolar macrophages in vivo. In total, 16 healthy subjects were enrolled in a single-blinded, placebo-controlled study. Subjects inhaled 100 microg LPS or normal saline (n = 8 per group). Measurements were performed in alveolar macrophages purified from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid obtained 6 h post-challenge. Inhalation of LPS by healthy human volunteers resulted in enhanced alveolar macrophage expression of mRNAs encoding TLRs 1, 2, 7, 8 and CD14, and reduced expression of mRNAs encoding TLR4 and lymphocyte antigen 96. In conclusion, lipopolysaccharide differentially influences the toll-like receptor mRNA expression profile in human alveolar macrophages in vivo.

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.
