Abstract 917: Functional blocking of CD5 on T cells to enhance the efficacy of therapeutic PD-1 blockade in treatment of mouse 4T1 breast tumors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Blockade of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) is approved for treatment of multiple human cancers and is the focus of multiple studies due to its key role in T cell function. However, only patients with ‘'hot'' tumors (i.e. those with increased numbers of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells) respond well to the blockade. This suggests that new strategies to increase infiltration of CD8+ T cells into tumors will increase the number of tumor types and patients benefiting from anti-PD-1 therapy. CD5, a member of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) superfamily, is expressed on T cells and a subset of B cells (B1a). It can attenuate TCR signaling and impair cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activation. CD5 knockout mice have increased anti-tumor immunity and reduced homograft tumor growth: reducing CD5 on CTLs may be therapeutically beneficial to enhance the anti-tumor response and increase tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells. We report that in vivo administration of anti-CD5 blocking MAb treatment increased primary T cell activation in response to 4T1 tumor cell homografts and ex vivo activation as measured by increased CD69, Fas, Fas ligand, IFNγ, PD-1, and apoptosis. Further, anti-CD5 treatment enhanced the capacity of primary T cells to kill 4T1 tumor cells ex vivo. Mice receiving anti-CD5 and anti-PD-1 in combination exhibited increased overall survival compared to mice treated with either agent alone. These data support the potential of blockade of CD5 function to enhance T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity and PD-1 blockade treatment.

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.
