Abstract
Background: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a life-threatening disorder caused by an inability to make glyco-phosphatidyl-inositol (GPI) anchors. While flow cytometry is the method of choice to detect the loss of GPI-linked proteins, the development and validation of sensitive, standardized, methodologies have been hampered by the rarity of this disease and by technical difficulties in the accurate identification of PNH cells. Methods: Guidelines for the diagnosis and monitoring of PNH by flow cytometry were recently published by the International Clinical Cytometry Society (ICCS). However, specific reagent cocktails, and associated detailed analytic strategies were not directly addressed therein. In this supporting document based on the ICCS guidelines, we provide concise practical protocols for the high-sensitivity detection of PNH RBCs and WBCs (both granulocytes and monocytes). Results: The CD235aFITC/CD59PE assay described was capable of detecting as few as 20 Type III PNH RBCs per million cells. Frequencies of Type III PNH cells in 10 normal samples were in the 06 per million RBCs. The high-resolution granulocyte/neutrophil assays described in this study could detect PNH phenotypes consistently at a level of 0.01% sensitivity. Frequencies of PNH phenotypes in normal individuals were in the 010 per million granulocytes/neutrophils range. Conclusions: The careful screening and selection of specific antibody conjugates has allowed the development of reagent cocktails suitable for high-sensitivity flow cytometric detection of PNH RBCs and PNH WBCs. The reagent cocktails described herein can be used on a variety of clinical flow cytometers equipped with four or more photo multiplier tubes. (c) 2012 International Clinical Cytometry Society

- 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
