Abstract
Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) are a subset of T-cells that play a critical role in protecting against intracellular infections and cancer, and have the ability to identify and kill infected or transformed cells expressing non-self peptides associated with major histocompatibility (MHC) Class I molecules. Conversely, aberrant CTL activity can contribute to immune-related pathology under conditions of overwhelming infection or autoimmunity. Disease-modifying therapeutics can have unintended effects on CTL, and a growing number of therapeutics are intended to either suppress or enhance CTL or their functions. The susceptibility of CTL to unintended effects from common therapeutic modalities underscores the need for a better understanding of the impact that such therapies have on CTL function and the associated safety implications. While there are reliable ways of quantifying CTL, notably via flow cytometric analysis of specific CTL markers, it has been a greater challenge to implement fit-for-purpose methods measuring CTL function in the context of safety studies of therapeutics. This review focuses on methods for measuring CTL responses in the context of drug safety and pharmacology testing, with the goals of informing the reader about current approaches, evaluating their pros and cons, and providing perspectives on the utility of these approaches for safety evaluation.

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
