The weakest link bridging germinal center B cells and follicular dendritic cells limits antibody affinity maturation
Rajat Desikan, Rustom Antia, Narendra M. Dixit
The affinity of antibodies (Abs) produced in vivo for their target antigens (Ags) is typically well below the maximum affinity possible. Nearly 25 years ago, Foote and Eisen explai…
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…
Defensive complexity and the phylogenetic conservation of immune control
Erick Chastain, Rustom Antia, Carl T. Bergstrom
One strategy for winning a coevolutionary struggle is to evolve rapidly. Most of the literature on host-pathogen coevolution focuses on this phenomenon, and looks for consequent ev…
