TNF Type 2 Receptor (p75) Lowers the Threshold of T Cell Activation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
T cell activation requires a threshold amount of TCR-mediated signals, an amount that is reduced by signals mediated through costimulatory molecules expressed on the T cell surface. Here the role of TNFR2 (p75) as a putative costimulatory receptor for T cell activation was examined. It was found that p75 deficiency in CD8(+) T cells increased the requirements for TCR agonist approximately 5-fold. Furthermore, p75(-/-) T cells display a marked reduction in the proliferative response to TCR agonist. This hypoproliferative response was associated with delayed kinetics of induction of the acute activation markers CD25 and CD69 as well as a marked decrease in the production of IL-2 and IFN-gamma. The net result is that very few cells are recruited into the dividing population. Interestingly, CD28 costimulation was only partially effective in rescuing the proliferative defect of p75(-/-)CD8(+) T cells. Thus, p75 provides an important costimulatory signal in addition to that provided by CD28 toward optimal T cell proliferation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
