A new tool for detection of extracellular traps
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Extracellular traps ejected by various immune cells (neutrophils, macrophages, eosinophils and mast cells) have several immune functions, either protective against pathogens or deleterious in some autoimmune or inflammatory disorders. Since their first description in 2004, the mechanisms of extracellular traps formation have been extensively investigated though still not fully understood. We describe here a new tool for the detection of extracellular traps by fluorescence microscopy in a single-step staining protocol, which does not require any wash. The approach uses the GreenGlo™ DNA dye, which can differentiate between nuclear DNA and extracellular DNA (extracellular traps) released from cells using different fluorescence excitation wavelengths. GreenGlo™ staining is suitable for adherent and non-adherent cells and is expected to be extendable to extracellular traps from other cells types (i.e. eosinophils, mast cells and monocytes).

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.
