Abstract
Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) can modulate innate antiviral responses and render tumors more susceptible to oncolytic viruses (OVs); however, their effects on adaptive immunity in this context are largely unknown. Our present study reveals an unexpected property of the HDACi MS-275 that enhances viral vector-induced lymphopenia leading to selective depletion of bystander lymphocytes and regulatory T cells while allowing expansion of antigen-specific secondary responses. Coadministration of vaccine plus drug during the boosting phase focuses the immune response on the tumor by suppressing the primary immune response against the vaccine vector and enhancing the secondary response against the tumor antigen. Furthermore, improvement of T cell functionality was evident suggesting that MS-275 can orchestrate a complex array of effects that synergize immunotherapy and viral oncolysis. Surprisingly, while MS-275 dramatically enhanced efficacy, it suppressed autoimmune pathology, profoundly improving the therapeutic index.

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
