Self-tolerance and autoimmunity in a minimal model of the idiotypic network
Stefan Landmann, Nicolas Preuss, Ulrich Behn
We consider self-tolerance and its failure -autoimmunity- in a minimal mathematical model of the idiotypic network. A node in the network represents a clone of B-lymphocytes and it…
Self tolerance in a minimal model of the idiotypic network
Robert Schulz, Benjamin Werner, Ulrich Behn
We consider the problem of self tolerance in the frame of a minimalistic model of the idiotypic network. A node of this network represents a population of B lymphocytes of the same…
Randomly Evolving Idiotypic Networks: Structural Properties and Architecture
Holger Schmidtchen, Mario Thüne, Ulrich Behn
We consider a minimalistic dynamic model of the idiotypic network of B-lymphocytes. A network node represents a population of B-lymphocytes of the same specificity (idiotype), whic…
Randomly Evolving Idiotypic Networks: Modular Mean Field Theory
Holger Schmidtchen, Ulrich Behn
We develop a modular mean field theory for a minimalistic model of the idiotypic network. The model comprises the random influx of new idiotypes and a deterministic selection. It d…
Mathematical Modelling of Allergy and Specific Immunotherapy: Th1-Th2-Treg Interactions
Fridolin Gross, Gerhard Metzner, Ulrich Behn
Regulatory T cells (Treg) have recently been identified as playing a central role in allergy and during allergen-specific immunotherapy. We have extended our previous mathematical…
