A computational study of the statistical mechanics of antibody-antigen conformations [PDF]
arXiv, 2004 We describe the representation of the chemical affinity between the antigen-combining site of the immunoglobulin molecule and the antigen molecule as the probability of the two molecules existing in a bound state. Our model is based on the identification of shape attractors in the configuration space for the joint antibody / antigen combining site ...

A General Theory for Direct Quantitative Analysis of Antigen [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 A theory for direct quantitative analysis of an antigen is proposed. It is based on a potential homogenous immunoreaction system. It establishes an equation to describe the concentration change of the antigen and antibody complex. A maximum point is found in the concentration profile of the complex which can be used to calculate the concentration of ...

Canalization of the evolutionary trajectory of the human influenza virus [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 Since its emergence in 1968, influenza A (H3N2) has evolved extensively in genotype and antigenic phenotype. Antigenic evolution occurs in the context of a two-dimensional 'antigenic map', while genetic evolution shows a characteristic ladder-like genealogical tree. Here, we use a large-scale individual-based model to show that evolution in a Euclidean
