Perturbed Homeostasis of Peripheral T Cells Elicits Decreased Susceptibility to Anti-CD3-Induced Apoptosis in Prediabetic Nonobese Diabetic Mice
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Activation-induced cell death (AICD) plays a key role in the homeostasis of the immune system. Autoreactive T cells are eliminated through AICD both from the thymus and periphery. In this study, we show that NOD peripheral T cells, especially CD8(+) T cells, display a decreased susceptibility to anti-CD3-induced AICD in vivo compared with T cells from diabetes-resistant B6, nonobese diabetes-resistant, and NOD.B6Idd4 mice. The susceptibility of NOD CD8(+) T cells to AICD varies in an age- and dose-dependent manner upon stimulation in vivo with either a mitogenic or nonmitogenic anti-CD3. NOD T cells preactivated by anti-CD3 in vivo are less susceptible than B6 T cells to TCR-induced AICD. Treatment of NOD mice with a mitogenic anti-CD3 depletes CD4(+)CD25(-)CD62L(+) but not CD4(+)CD25(+)CD62L(+) T cells, thereby resulting in an increase of the latter subset in the spleen. Treatment with a nonmitogenic anti-CD3 mAb delays the onset of T1D in 8.3 TCR transgenic NOD mice. These results demonstrate that the capacity of anti-CD3 to protect NOD mice from T1D correlates with its ability to perturb T cell homeostasis by inducing CD8(+) T cell AICD and increasing the number of CD4(+)CD25(+)CD62L(+) T cells in the periphery.

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.
