Abstract
Clathrin mediated endocytosis is one pathway for internalization of extracellular nano materials into cells [1, 2]. In this pathway, proteins attached to receptors and the internalized materials are encapsulated in clathrin coated membrane vesicles that subsequently fuse with or transform into intracellular compartments (early and late endosomes) as their contents are being directed to the lysosomes for degradation. The following proteins are commonly used to mark the pathway at various stages: Rab5 (early endosome), Rab7 (late endosome), and LAMP-1 (lysosome). In this work, we studied the distribution and co-localization of these marker proteins in two cell lines (C2C12 and A549) to determine whether these markers are unique for specific endosome types or whether they can co-exist with other markers. We estimate the densities and sizes of the endosomes containing the three markers, as well as the number of marker antibodies attached to each endosome. We determine that the markers are not unique to one endosome type but that the extent of co-localization is different for the two cell types. In fact, we find endosomes that contain all three markers simultaneously. Our results suggest that the use of these proteins as specific markers for specific endosome types should be reevaluated. This was the first successful use of triple image cross correlation spectroscopy to qualitatively and quantitatively study the extent of interaction among three different species in cells and also the first experimental study of three-way interactions of clathrin mediated endocytic markers.

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 it
