Resource Bounded Immunity and Simplicity [PDF]

open access: yes(journal version) Theoretical Computer Sceince, Vol.347, pp.90-129, 2005, 2004
Revisiting the thirty years-old notions of resource-bounded immunity and simplicity, we investigate the structural characteristics of various immunity notions: strong immunity, almost immunity, and hyperimmunity as well as their corresponding simplicity notions.

Infection-acquired versus vaccine-acquired immunity in an SIRWS model [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Despite high vaccine coverage, pertussis has re-emerged as a public health concern in many countries. One hypothesis posed for re-emergence is the waning of immunity. In some disease systems, the process of waning immunity can be non-linear, involving a complex relationship between the duration of immunity and subsequent boosting of immunity through ...

Mathematical models for vaccination, waning immunity and immune system boosting: a general framework [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 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 ...

Defining trained immunity and its role in health and disease

open access: yesNature Reviews Immunology, 2020
Immune memory is a defining feature of the acquired immune system, but activation of the innate immune system can also result in enhanced responsiveness to subsequent triggers.

IMMUNITY [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, 2013
AbstractLegal provisions that protect elected politicians from prosecution have been common throughout history and still exist in most democracies. We provide the first systematic measurement of immunity and study, theoretically and empirically, its relation to corruption. Theory predicts that immunity is a double‐edged sword.

Targeting human Acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase as a dual viral and T cell metabolic checkpoint

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Shared metabolic pathways could allow simultaneous manipulation of T cells, viruses and tumours. Here the authors show targeting cholesterol esterification restrains hepatitis B in vitro, whilst bolstering exhausted antigen-specific T cell responses from
