Abstract
On the basis of results obtained in vitro, we previously proposed a model in which signals from the conceptus, namely interferon-tau (IFN-tau) and prostaglandin E2, increase the expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in immune and nonimmune cells of the bovine endometrium. Two experiments were conducted to verify the validity of this hypothesis in vivo. In experiment 1, the in vivo expression of COX-2 and GM-CSF during early pregnancy was monitored. Uteri from heifers were collected at different days (d) of the estrous cycle and pregnancy (P). In experiment 2, the effects of intrauterine infusions of IFN-tau on the expression of COX-2 and GM-CSF were analyzed. Immunohistochemistry was performed on uterine sections, and image analysis was used to evaluate the staining intensity in the conceptus, the luminal epithelium (LE), and the subepithelial stroma. In experiment 1, staining for COX-2 was maximal between d18P and d24P, both in the LE and in the conceptus, whereas staining for GM-CSF reached a plateau between d18P and d30P in the LE. In experiment 2, in response to IFN-tau, COX-2 was up-regulated in the LE of the ipsilateral horn, whereas GM-CSF was enhanced in both uterine horns. The current report supports the view that the conceptus, through its secretion of IFN-tau, stimulates maternal epithelial expression of COX-2 and GM-CSF during the peri-attachment period in the cow.

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
