Abstract
In response to bacterial stimuli, multiple dendritic cell (DC) populations accumulate within the draining lymph node, thus enhancing opportunities for effective T cell-DC interaction. DC subpopulations, such as plasmacytoid, CD8(+), and CD11b(+) subsets, have distinct roles in determining the nature of the immune response. The mechanisms whereby individual DC subpopulations are mobilized and the extent to which these processes are linked to increases in overall lymph node cellularity have not been determined. In the current study, the mechanisms of DC subset mobilization to the draining auricular lymph node were examined after intradermal injection of Staphylococcus aureus-derived peptidoglycan. Using mast cell-deficient mice and local mast cell reconstitution, plasmacytoid and CD8(+) DC responses were shown to be mast cell dependent, whereas the CD11b(+) DC response was not. A histamine H2 receptor-dependent, CXCL9-independent pathway controlled the selective influx of both plasmacytoid and CD11b(+) DC into the lymph node, but not lymph node cellularity. In contrast, IL-6 was important for the mobilization of CD8(+) and CD11b(+) DC. TNF and IL-1 receptor were dispensable for plasmacytoid, CD11b(+), and CD8(+) DC responses. These findings provide novel opportunities for the selective mobilization of specific DC subsets to lymph nodes and demonstrate critical roles for both histamine and IL-6 in this process.

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
