Resource Bounded Immunity and Simplicity [PDF]
(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.

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 ...

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

International 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
Nature 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

Nature Communications, 2023 A gB/MF59 vaccine candidate for human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) provided partial protection in organ transplant patients. Here, the authors identify antibody responses in trial participants that target virally infected cells to control cell-to-cell spread ...

Comparison of antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 variants in Australian children
Nature Communications, 2022 Despite a rise in COVID-19 cases among children, there is limited understanding of the antibody responses mounted, compared to in adults. In this work, authors compare seroconversion rates and antibody responses in unvaccinated Australian children across
