Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: The current paradigm indicates that naive T cells are primed in secondary lymphoid organs. Here, we present evidence that intranasal administration of peptide antigens appended to nanofibers primes naive CD8+ T cells in the lung independently ...

Efficient Immunization Strategies for Computer Networks and Populations
, 2003 We present an effective immunization strategy for computer networks and populations with broad and, in particular, scale-free degree distributions. The proposed strategy, acquaintance immunization, calls for the immunization of random acquaintances of ...

Modelling of the node immunity change process in a network system [PDF]
WIT Transactions on Information and Communication, 2008 In this paper we analyze the additive hazard distribution modelling in the network system with non-constant nodes’ immunities. Nodes’ immunities depend on number of cycle and unknown parameter that is defined as random variable. Bayesian approach is applied for the updating of the estimate of this random variable. In this study we are interested in how

Immunization of networks with community structure
, 2009 In this study, an efficient method to immunize modular networks (i.e., networks with community structure) is proposed. The immunization of networks aims at fragmenting networks into small parts with a small number of removed nodes.

Neutrophil recruitment to lymph nodes limits local humoral response to Staphylococcus aureus. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2015 Neutrophils form the first line of host defense against bacterial pathogens. They are rapidly mobilized to sites of infection where they help marshal host defenses and remove bacteria by phagocytosis.

Fragmenting networks by targeting collective influencers at a mesoscopic level [PDF]
, 2016 A practical approach to protecting networks against epidemic processes such as spreading of infectious diseases, malware, and harmful viral information is to remove some influential nodes beforehand to fragment the network into small components.

Tolerance induction in memory CD4 T cells requires two rounds of antigen-specific activation [PDF]
, 2014 Autoimmune diseases are driven by immune cells that recognize self-tissues. A major goal for treatment strategies for autoimmune diseases is to turn off or tolerize self-reactive immune cells such as CD4 T cells that coordinate tissue damage in many ...

Analysis of Two-Worm Interaction Model in Heterogeneous M2M Network
Information, 2015 With the rapid development of M2M (Machine-to-Machine) networks, the damages caused by malicious worms are getting more and more serious. By considering the influences of the network heterogeneity on worm spreading, we are the first to study the complex ...

Maternal schistosomiasis impairs offspring Interleukin-4 production and B cell expansion.
PLoS Pathogens, 2021 Epidemiological studies have identified a correlation between maternal helminth infections and reduced immunity to some early childhood vaccinations, but the cellular basis for this is poorly understood.
