Antibody ligation of murine Ly-6G induces neutropenia, blood flow cessation, and death via complement-dependent and independent mechanisms
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ly-6G is a member of the Ly-6 family of GPI-linked proteins, which is expressed on murine neutrophils. Antibodies against Ly-6G cause neutropenia, and fatal reactions also develop if mice are primed with TNF-alpha prior to antibody treatment. We have investigated the mechanisms behind these responses to Ly-6G ligation in the belief that similar mechanisms may be involved in neutropenia and respiratory disorders associated with alloantibody ligation of the related Ly-6 family member, NB1, in humans. Neutrophil adhesion, microvascular obstruction, breathing difficulties, and death initiated by anti-Ly-6G antibodies in TNF-alpha-primed mice were shown to be highly complement-dependent, partly mediated by CD11b, CD18, and FcgammaR and associated with clustering of Ly-6G. Neutrophil depletion, on the other hand, was only partly complement-dependent and was not altered by blockade of CD11b, CD18, or FcgammaR. Unlike other neutrophil-activating agents, Ly-6G ligation did not induce neutropenia via sequestration in the lungs. Cross-linking Ly-6G mimicked the responses seen with whole antibody in vivo and also activated murine neutrophils in vitro. Although this suggests that the responses are, in part, mediated by nonspecific properties of antibody ligation, neutrophil depletion requires an additional mechanism possibly specific to the natural function of Ly-6G.

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.
