Abstract
IFNs play critical roles in host defense by modulating the expression of various genes via signal transducer and activator of transcription factors. We show that IFNalpha/beta activates another important transcription factor, NF-kappaB. DNA-binding activity of NF-kappaB was induced by multiple type 1 IFNs and was promoted by IFN in a diverse group of human, monkey, rat, and murine cells. Human IFN promoted NF-kappaB activation in murine cells that express the human IFNalpha/beta receptor-1 signal-transducing chain of the type 1 IFN receptor. IFN promotes inhibitor of kappa B alpha (IkappaBalpha) serine phosphorylation and degradation, and stimulates NF-kappaB DNA-binding and transcriptional activity. Importantly, IFN promotes cell survival by protecting cells against a variety of proapoptotic stimuli, such as virus infection and antibody-mediated crosslinking. Expression of superrepressor forms of IkappaBalpha, besides inhibiting IFN-mediated NF-kappaB activation and IkappaBalpha degradation, also enhanced apoptotic cell death in IFN-treated cells. We conclude that NF-kappaB activation by IFNalpha/beta is integrated into a signaling pathway through the IFNalpha/beta receptor-1 chain of the type 1 IFN receptor that promotes cell survival in apposition to various apoptotic stimuli.

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
