Competing Heterogeneities in Vaccine Effectiveness Estimation
Ariel Nikas, Hasan Ahmed, Veronika I. Zarnitsyna
Understanding waning of vaccine-induced protection is important for both immunology and public health. Population heterogeneities in underlying (pre-vaccination) susceptibility and…
When does humoral memory enhance infection?
Ariel Nikas, Hasan Ahmed, Mia R. Moore +2
Antibodies and humoral memory are key components of the adaptive immune system. We consider and computationally model mechanisms by which humoral memory present at baseline might i…
Estimating Waning of Vaccine Effectiveness: a Simulation Study
Ariel Nikas, Hasan Ahmed, Veronika I. Zarnitsyna
Developing accurate and reliable methods to estimate vaccine protection is a key goal in immunology and public health. While several statistical methods have been proposed, their p…
High Dimensional Random Walks Can Appear Low Dimensional: Application to Influenza H3N2 Evolution
James Moore, Hasan Ahmed
One important feature of the mammalian immune system is the highly specific binding of antigens to antibodies. Antibodies generated in response to one infection may also provide so…
Mathematical analysis of a mouse experiment suggests little role for resource depletion in controlling influenza infection within host
Hasan Ahmed, James Moore, Balaji Manicassamy +3
How important is resource depletion (e.g. depletion of target cells) in controlling infection within a host? And how can we distinguish between resource depletion and other mechani…
