Single-Cell Peripheral Immunoprofiling of Lewy Body Disease in a Multi-site Cohort
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Summary Studies implicated peripheral organs involvement in the development of Lewy body disease (LBD), a spectrum of neurodegenerative diagnoses that include Parkinson’s Disease (PD) without or with dementia (PDD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). This study characterized peripheral immune responses unique to LBD at single-cell resolution. Peripheral mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples were collected from sites across the U.S. The diagnosis groups comprise healthy controls (HC, n=164), LBD (n=132), Alzheimer’s disease dementia (ADD, n=98), other neurodegenerative disease controls (NDC, n=21), and immune disease controls (IDC, n=14). PBMCs were activated with three stimulants, stained by surface and intracellular signal markers, and analyzed by flow cytometry, generating 1,184 immune features. Our model classified LBD from HC with an AUROC of 0.90±0.06. The same model distinguished LBD from ADD, NDC, IDC, or other common conditions associated with LBD. Model predictions were driven by pPLCγ2, p38, and pSTAT5 signals from specific cell populations and activations.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
