Mathematical models for vaccination, waning immunity and immune system boosting: a general framework [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 When the body gets infected by a pathogen or receives a vaccine dose, the immune system develops pathogen-specific immunity. Induced immunity decays in time and years after recovery/vaccination the host might become susceptible again. Exposure to the pathogen in the environment boosts the immune system thus prolonging the duration of the protection ...

SIMMUNE, a tool for simulating and analyzing immune system behavior [PDF]
arXiv, 1999 We present a new approach to the simulation and analysis of immune system behavior. The simulations that can be done with our software package called SIMMUNE are based on immunological data that describe the behavior of immune system agents (cells, molecules) on a microscopial (i.e.

A Physical Theory of the Competition that Allows HIV to Escape from the Immune System [PDF]
, 2006 Competition within the immune system may degrade immune control of viral infections. We formalize the evolution that occurs in both HIV-1 and the immune system quasispecies. Inclusion of competition in the immune system leads to a novel balance between the immune response and HIV-1, in which the eventual outcome is HIV-1 escape rather than control. The

Correlations in the T Cell Response to Altered Peptide Ligands [PDF]
, 2004 The vertebrate immune system is a wonder of modern evolution. Occasionally, however, correlations within the immune system lead to inappropriate recruitment of preexisting T cells against novel viral diseases. We present a random energy theory for the correlations in the naive and memory T cell immune responses.

The impact of short-term confinement on human innate immunity
Scientific Reports, 2022 During space missions cosmonauts are exposed to a myriad of distinct stressors such as radiation, overloads, weightlessness, radiation, isolation in artificial environmental conditions, which causes changes in immune system.

The roles of extracellular vesicles in the immune system
Nature reviews. Immunology, 2022 Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are increasingly recognized as having ubiquitous roles in the immune system. This Review focuses on the progress made in the field in the past 5 years, including the roles of EVs in innate and adaptive immunity and their ...
