Abstract
During active intestinal inflammation granulocytes accumulate in the lumen of the gut where they damage the epithelium through the release of various products such as reactive oxygen species and proteolytic enzymes. Previously, using function blocking monoclonal antibodies, we showed that neutrophil migration across intestinal epithelial monolayers in response to various chemoattractants was partially beta(2) integrin Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18)-independent. Here, we show that treating neutrophils with intact monoclonal antibody (mAb) to CD18 activates the cells to express more CD11b. Thus our goal now was to determine whether neutrophil Mac-1-independent transepithelial migration proceeds independently of prior cell activation through Mac-1. We took two approaches, one using blocking Fab' fragments of mAb to CD18 and the second was to develop a neutrophil differentiated HL-60 cell line which is Mac-1 deficient to further study neutrophil/epithelial cell interaction. Anti-CD18 Fab' minimally activated neutrophils but inhibited approximately 75% of transepithelial migration to fMLP while having a minimal effect (</=25% inhibition) on the migration to C5a. Upon incubation with dimethylsulphoxide, HL-60 cells differentiated and up-regulated CD11b expression and migrated to C5a and n-formyl methionyl leucyl phenylalanine in a similar manner to peripheral blood neutrophils. In contrast, CD11b expression was minimal on HL-60 cells differentiated with dibutytyl cAMP to a neutrophil-like phenotype. These cells, however, readily migrated across both intestinal and lung epithelial monolayers in response to C5a. We conclude that Mac-1-independent transepithelial migration does not require prior activation of cells via Mac-1 ligation because HL-60 cells lacking Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18) expression migrate effectively. HL-60 cells differentiated with dbcAMP should greatly assist in the search for the Mac-1-independent ligands for neutrophil migration across epithelium.

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
