Abstract
T cell activation is a complex biological process of naive cells maturing into effector cells. Proteomic and phospho-proteomic approaches have provided critical insights into this process, yet it is not always clear how changes in individual proteins or phosphorylation sites have functional significance. Here, we developed the Phosphorylation Integrated Thermal Shift Assay (PITSA) that combines the measurement of protein or phosphorylation site abundance and thermal stability into a single tandem mass tags experiment and apply this method to study T cell activation. We quantified the abundance and thermal stability of over 7500 proteins and 5000 phosphorylation sites and identified significant differences in chromatin-related, TCR signaling, DNA repair, and proliferative phosphoproteins. PITSA may be applied to a wide range of biological contexts to generate hypotheses as to which proteins or phosphorylation sites are functionally regulated in a given system as well as the mechanisms by which this regulation may occur.

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
