libtissue - a Software System for Incorporating Innate Immunity into Artificial Immune Systems
In a previous paper the authors argue the case for incorporating concepts from innate immunity into Artificial Immune Systems and present an outline for a conceptual framework for such systems. A number of key general properties observed in the biological innate and adaptive immune systems were highlighted, and how such properties might be instantiated in artificial systems was discussed in det...
متن کاملInnate immunity
From the discovery of antibodies in the late nineteenth century until very recently, the focus of most research in immunology has been the so-called adaptive immune response. Adaptive immune responses are highly specific for a given microorganism and it is the T and B lymphocytes of the adaptive immune response, and the antibodies produced by the B lymphocytes, that are responsible for lasting ...
متن کاملInnate immunity.
Recent years have witnessed an explosion of interest in the innate immune system. Questions about how the innate immune system senses infection and empowers a protective immune response are being answered at the molecular level. These basic science discoveries are being translated into a more complete understanding of the central role innate immunity plays in the pathogenesis of many human infe...
متن کاملSurviving innate immunity.
In a complex environment, higher organisms face the constant threat of microbial infection. To defend against this onslaught of potential pathogens, all known members of the plant and animal kingdoms use an innate immune system. A key component of innate immunity is the production of small, cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs). In mammals, recent discoveries from gene therapy and gene-knocko...
متن کاملInnate immunity and adjuvants
Innate immunity was for a long time considered to be non-specific because the major function of this system is to digest pathogens and present antigens to the cells involved in acquired immunity. However, recent studies have shown that innate immunity is not non-specific, but is instead sufficiently specific to discriminate self from pathogens through evolutionarily conserved receptors, designa...
