Area of Science:

  • Computational Biology
  • Immunology
  • Systems Biology

Background:

  • The immune system is complex, involving numerous cell types and interactions.
  • Understanding these interactions is key to deciphering immune responses and diseases.
  • Current experimental methods have limitations in exploring all facets of immune system dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To construct and simulate a computational model of the immune system.
  • To focus on clonotypic cell types and their interactions with other cells, antigens, and antibodies.
  • To propose computer simulation as a complementary tool for immunological research.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a generalized cellular automaton model.
  • Simulation of the humoral immune system based on the model.
