Abstract

We propose that CD4(+)CD3(-) cells have two functions: a well-established role in organizing lymphoid tissue during development, and a newly discovered role in supporting T-cell help for B cells both during affinity maturation in germinal centres and for memory antibody responses. As CD4(+)CD3(-) cells express the HIV co-receptors CD4 and CXC-chemokine receptor 4, we think that infection of these cells by HIV, and their subsequent destruction by the host immune system, could help to explain the loss of memory antibody responses and the destruction of lymphoid architecture that occur during disease progression to AIDS.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • LTi cells are CD3−CD4+ and play a role in promoting the survival of T cells that support memory B cells within lymphoid tissue.

    “These might represent a small subset of ILCs, called lymphoid tissue-inducer (LTi) cells, which are CD3−CD4+ and play a role in promoting the survival of T cells that support memory B cells within lymphoid tissue.38”

    From Characterizing the cellular immune response to subretinal AAV gene therapy in the murine retina (2021) · cites this paper as [38]

    The Abstract proposes that adult CD4+CD3− cells promote T-cell survival, and ‘T-cell help for memory antibody responses’ links their survival signals to memory T cells that help B cells. ‘Lymph-node organogenesis’ identifies inducer cells with a similar CD4+CD3− phenotype but says their relationship to the adult cells is contentious. The paper therefore supports the proposed function of adult cells, not an established survival role for LTi cells as such. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
