Abstract

The immune system, an exquisitely regulated physiological system, utilizes a wide spectrum of soluble factors and multiple cell populations and subpopulations at diverse states of maturation to monitor and protect the organism against foreign organisms. Immune surveillance is ensured by distinguishing self-antigens from self-associated with non-self (e.g., viral) peptides presented by major histocompatibility complexes (MHC). Pathology is often identified as unregulated inflammatory responses (e.g., cytokine storm), or recognizing self as a non-self entity (i.e., auto-immunity). Artificial intelligence (AI), and in particular specific machine learning (ML) paradigms (e.g., Deep Learning [DL]) proffer powerful algorithms to better understand and more accurately predict immune responses, immune regulation and homeostasis, and immune reactivity to challenges (i.e., immune allostasis) by their intrinsic ability to interpret immune parameters, pathways and events by analyzing large amounts of complex data and drawing predictive inferences (i.e., immune tweening). We propose here that DL models play an increasingly significant role in better defining and characterizing immunological surveillance to ancient and novel virus species released by thawing permafrost.
