The type of seeder cells determines the efficiency of germinal center reactions
Michael Meyer-Hermann, Tilo Beyer
We discuss the origin of two classes of germinal centers that have been observed during humoral immune responses: Some germinal centers develop very well and give rise to a large n…
A quantitative model for presynaptic free calcium dynamics during different stimulation protocols
Frido Erler, Michael Meyer-Hermann, Gerhard Soff
The presynaptic free calcium dynamics of neurons due to various stimulation protocols is investigated in a mathematical model. The model includes calcium influx through voltage-dep…
A possible role of chemotaxis in germinal center formation
Tilo Beyer, Michael Meyer-Hermann, Gerhard Soff
During the germinal center reaction a characteristic morphology is developed. In the framework of a recently developed space-time-model for the germinal center a mechanism for the…
A mathematical model for the germinal center morphology and affinity maturation
Michael Meyer-Hermann
During germinal center reactions the appearance of two specific zones is observed: the dark and the light zone. Up to now, the origin and function of these zones are poorly underst…
The relation of morphology and affinity maturation in germinal centers
Michael Meyer-Hermann
The specific morphology of germinal centers is analyzed in the context of the optimization of the humoral immune response. The relevance of dark and light zones for the affinity ma…
Presynaptic calcium dynamics of learning neurons
Michael Meyer-Hermann, Frido Erler, Gerhard Soff
We present a new model for the dynamics of the presynaptic intracellular calcium concentration in neurons evoked by various stimulation protocols. The aim of the model is twofold:…
