Abstract

The shape space model of de Boer, Segel and Perelson for the immune system is studied with a probabilistic updating rule by Monte Carlo simulation. A suitable mathematical form is chosen for the probability of increase of B-cell concentration depending on the concentration around the mirror image site. The results obtained agree reasonably with the results obtained by deterministic cellular automata.

Agent-based modeling of host-pathogen systems: The successes and challenges
2009, Information Sciences
Agent-based models have been employed to describe numerous processes in immunology. Simulations based on these types of models have been used to enhance our understanding of immunology and disease pathology. We review various agent-based models relevant to host–pathogen systems and discuss their contributions to our understanding of biological processes. We then point out some limitations and challenges of agent-based models and encourage efforts towards reproducibility and model validation.
Optimisation and parallelisation strategies for Monte Carlo simulation of HIV infection

Developed by Neumann [3], Ulam [10] and Metropolis [11] during World War Two, this method was first used to model neutron diffusion in fissile material and give an approximation of the eigenvalues of the Schrödinger equation [12]. Since then MC methods have been used to model a large variety of problems, from pi estimation [13] to immune system simulation [14,15]. The allSites loop presented here is a basic element; in fact the full update of the lattice during an MC step may require more than one loop that increases further the amount of computation to be done.
In recent years, the study of immune response behaviour through mathematical and computational models has attracted considerable efforts. The dynamics of key cell types, and their interactions, has been a primary focus in terms of building a picture of how the immune system responds to a threat. Discrete methods, based on lattice Monte-Carlo (MC) models, with their flexibility and relative simplicity have previously been used to model the immune system behaviour. However, due to speed and memory constraints, large-scale simulations cannot be done on a single computer. Key issues in the reduction of simulation time are code optimisation and code parallelisation. In this paper, optimisation and parallelisation solutions are discussed, with reference to existing MC simulation code for dynamics of HIV infection.
A local-field-type model for immunological systems: Time evolution in real and shape spaces
1996, Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications
We introduce a new model for the interaction of immunological cells that takes into account their location in real space. Each one of the model cells mimics the real B cells in the sense that they detect antigens and they are also capable of reproducing themselves. We perform computer simulations for the simplest cases. The main differences between the results obtained within this model and those obtained through the usual models, which do not consider a real space, concern the final stationary states. In mean field calculations not only the system as a whole but also each individual cell population reach an equilibrium state. In the present approach the entire system reaches a stationary state, but the individual populations present strong fluctuations, at least for the explored range of parameters. We exhibit that, in spite of the simplicity of the present model, interesting real-space effects can take place.
Self-reorganizations in a simple model of the immune system
1994, Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications
We report results of studies carried out on a simple 2D shape space model of the immune system, where a network of clones is perturbed by long-lived molecules whose presence triggers the disappearance (avalanche) of existing clones. The resulting reorganizations of the system, which occur over many different time and length scales, enable it to respond efficiently to changing environments. The system's dynamics is very reminiscent of self-organized criticality, with a 1/*int; spectrum in the number of particles, but we observe a clear cutoff in the size of avalanches in the present model. We argue that such a cutoff is a desirable feature in the case of a biological system.
