Chronic <i>Trichuris muris</i> infection alters hematopoiesis and causes IFN‐γ‐expressing T‐cell accumulation in the mouse bone marrow
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Proinflammatory cytokines produced during immune responses to infectious stimuli are well‐characterized to have secondary effects on the function of hematopoietic progenitor cells in the BM. However, these effects on the BM are poorly characterized during chronic infection with intestinal helminth parasites. In this study, we use the Trichuris muris model of infection and show that Th1 cell‐associated, but not acute Th2 cell‐associated, responses to chronic T. muris infection cause a major, transient expansion of CD48 − CD150 − multipotent progenitor cells in the BM that is dependent on the presence of adaptive immune cells and IFN‐γ signaling. Chronic T. muris infection also broadly stimulated proliferation of BM progenitor cells including CD48 − CD150 + hematopoietic stem cells. This shift in progenitor activity during chronic T. muris infection correlated with a functional increase in myeloid colony formation in vitro as well as neutrophilia in the BM and peripheral blood. In parallel, we observed an accumulation of CD4 + , CD8 + , and CD4 − CD8 − (double negative) T cells that expressed IFN‐γ, displaying activated and central memory‐type phenotypes in the bone marrow during chronic infection. Thus, these results demonstrate that Th1 cell‐driven responses in the intestine during chronic helminth infection potently influence upstream hematopoietic processes in the BM via IFN‐γ.

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.
