CD4 and CD8: an inside-out coreceptor model for innate immune cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
CD8 and CD4 are expressed by several cell types that do not express TCR. These include DCs, macrophages, monocytes, and NK cells. CD8(+) monocytes and macrophages are abundant at the site of pathology in many rat disease models, particularly those involving immune complex-mediated pathology. Indeed, in some disease models, CD8(+) macrophages correlate with severity of pathology or directly cause pathology or tumor cell killing. Evidence suggests CD8 or CD4 can enhance FcgammaR-dependent responses of human monocytes. Building on data that key components of TCR and FcgammaR signaling can substitute one another efficiently, we postulate that CD4 and CD8 operate with FcgammaR and potentially other receptors to enhance responses of T cells and various innate immune cells. Our model suggests CD8 on myeloid cells may contribute directly to tumor killing and tissue pathology by enhancing FcgammaR responses. Moreover, the model suggests a role for CD8 in cross-presentation of antibody-associated antigen by DCs and a new mechanism to regulate TCR sensitivity.

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.
