The CD83 reporter mouse elucidates the activity of the CD83 promoter in B, T, and dendritic cell populations <i>in vivo</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
CD83 is the major surface marker identifying mature dendritic cells (DCs). In this study, we report the generation of reporter mice expressing EGFP under the control of the CD83 promoter. We have used these mice to characterize CD83 expression by various immune system cell types both in vivo and ex vivo and under steady-state conditions and in response to stimulation with a Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligand. With those mice we could prove in vivo that the CD83 promoter is highly active in all DCs and B cells in lymphoid organs. Interestingly, this promoter activity in B cells mainly depended on the stage of development, is up-regulated in the late pre-B cell stage, and was maintained on a high level in all peripheral B cells. We also confirmed that CD83 in those cells is mainly intracellular but is up-regulated after TLR stimulation. Otherwise, CD83 promoter activity in T cells seemed to depend on stimulation and could be found mainly in CD4(+)CD25(+) and CD8(+)CD25(+) T cells and in CD4(+) and CD8(+) memory cells. In addition, we identified the murine homologues of the human CD83 splice variants. In contrast to those in human, those extremely rare short transcripts were never found without the expression of the highly dominant full-length form. So, the murine CD83 surface expression is mainly regulated posttranslationally in vivo. Our CD83 reporter mice represent a useful mouse model for monitoring the activation status and migration of DCs and lymphocytes under various conditions, and our results provide much needed clarification of the true nature of CD83 promoter activity.

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.
