Dynamics of an SIRWS model with waning of immunity and varying immune boosting period [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 SIRS models capture transmission dynamics of infectious diseases for which immunity is not lifelong. Extending these models by a W compartment for individuals with waning immunity, the boosting of the immune system upon repeated exposure may be incorporated. Previous analyses assumed identical waning rates from R to W and from W to S.

Chaperone-mediated MHC-I peptide exchange in antigen presentation
IUCrJThis work focuses on molecules that are encoded by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and that bind self-, foreign- or tumor-derived peptides and display these at the cell surface for recognition by receptors on T lymphocytes (T cell receptors ...

Computational strategies for dissecting the high-dimensional complexity of adaptive immune repertoires [PDF]
, 2017 The adaptive immune system recognizes antigens via an immense array of antigen-binding antibodies and T-cell receptors, the immune repertoire. The interrogation of immune repertoires is of high relevance for understanding the adaptive immune response in disease and infection (e.g., autoimmunity, cancer, HIV).
