Propensity of Adult Lymphoid Progenitors to Progress to DN2/3 Stage Thymocytes with Notch Receptor Ligation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Notch family receptors control critical events in the production and replenishment of specialized cells in the immune system. However, it is unclear whether Notch signaling regulates abrupt binary lineage choices in homogeneous progenitors or has more gradual influence over multiple aspects of the process. A recently developed coculture system with Delta 1-transduced stromal cells is being extensively used to address such fundamental questions. Different from fetal progenitors, multiple types of adult marrow cells expanded indefinitely in murine Delta-like 1-transduced OP9 cell cocultures, progressed to a DN2/DN3 thymocyte stage, and slowly produced TCR(+) and NK cells. Long-term cultured cells of this kind retained some potential for T lymphopoiesis in vivo. Adult marrow progressed through double-positive and single-positive stages only when IL-7 concentrations were low and passages were infrequent. Lin(-)c-Kit(low)GFP(+)IL-7Ralpha(+/-) prolymphocytes were the most efficient of adult bone marrow cells in short-term cultures, but the assay does not necessarily reflect cells normally responsible for replenishing the adult thymus. Although marrow-derived progenitors with Ig D(H)-J(H) rearrangements acquired T lineage characteristics in this model, that was not the case for more B committed cells with V(H)-D(H)J(H) rearrangement products.

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.
