Altered EBV Specific Immune Control in Multiple Sclerosis

Abstract

Since the 1980s it is known that immune responses to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are elevated in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Recent seroepidemiologial data have shown that this alteration after primary EBV infection identifies individuals with a more than 30-fold increased risk to develop MS. The mechanisms by which EBV infection might erode tolerance for the central nervous system (CNS) in these individuals, years prior to clinical MS onset, remain unclear. In this review I will discuss altered frequencies of EBV life cycle stages and their tissue distribution, EBV with CNS autoantigen cross-reactive immune responses and loss of immune control for autoreactive B and T cells as possible mechanisms. This discussion is intended to stimulate future studies into these mechanisms with the aim to identify candidates for interventions that might correct EBV specific immune control and/or resulting cross-reactivities with CNS autoantigens in MS patients and thereby ameliorate disease activity.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
