Immune network behavior--II. From oscillations to chaos and stationary states.
Two types of behavior have been previously reported in models of immune networks. The typical behavior of simple models, which involve B cells only, is stationary behavior involving several steady states. Finite amplitude perturbations may cause the model to switch between different equilibria. The typical behavior of more realistic models, which involve both B cells and antibody, consists of a...
متن کاملImmune network behavior--I. From stationary states to limit cycle oscillations.
We develop a model for the idiotypic interaction between two B cell clones. This model takes into account B cell proliferation, B cell maturation, antibody production, the formation and subsequent elimination of antibody-antibody complexes and recirculation of antibodies between the spleen and the blood. Here we investigate, by means of stability and bifurcation analysis, how each of the proces...
متن کاملImmune network at the edge of chaos.
Some time ago Jerne proposed a new theory to explain the basis of the immune system. He suggested the existence of a functional connected network, based on pattern recognition of the idiotypes carried by the lymphocytes, which is responsible for the self regulation of the immune system. Only 15-20% of the lymphocytes available in the immune repertoire will participate in this functional network...
متن کاملTwin-Chaos - Simultaneous Asynchronous Oscillations of Chaos
In this study, simultaneous asynchronous oscillatioiis of chaos observed in a simple autononioiis circuit are iiivestigated by both of circuit experiments and coniputer calculations. This circuit consists of two nonlinear subcircuits having different oscillation frequencies coupled by one linear negative resistor. I n the case that oscillation frequencies of two subcircuits are quite direrent, ...
متن کاملSteady states and oscillations in the p53/Mdm2 network.
p53 is activated in response to events compromising the genetic integrity of a cell. Recent data show that p53 activity does not increase steadily with genetic damage but rather fluctuates in an oscillatory fashion. Theoretical studies suggest that oscillations can arise from a combination of positive and negative feedbacks or from a long negative feedback loop alone. Both negative and positive...
