Computational Strategies for Dissecting the High-Dimensional Complexity of Adaptive Immune Repertoires
The adaptive immune system recognizes antigens via an immense array of antigen-binding antibodies and T-cell receptors, the immune repertoire. The interrogation of immune repertoires is of high relevance for understanding the adaptive immune response in disease and infection (e.g., autoimmunity, cancer, HIV). Adaptive immune receptor repertoire sequencing (AIRR-seq) has driven the quantitative ...
متن کاملNew algorithmic challenges of adaptive immune repertoire construction
Motivation: The analysis of antibodies and T-cell receptors (TCRs) concentrations in serum is a fundamental problem in immunoinformatics. Repertoire construction is a preliminary step of analysis of clonal lineages, understanding of immune response dynamics, population analysis of immunoglobulin and TCR loci. Emergence of MiSeq Illumina sequencing machine in 2013 opened horizons of investigatio...
متن کاملThe effects of host contact network structure on pathogen diversity and strain structure.
For many important pathogens, mechanisms promoting antigenic variation, such as mutation and recombination, facilitate immune evasion and promote strain diversity. However, mathematical models have shown that host immune responses to polymorphic antigens can structure pathogen populations into discrete strains with nonoverlapping antigenic repertoires, despite recombination. Until now, models o...
متن کاملModeling the Meta-Dynamics of Lymphocyte Repertoires R. Mehr: Lymphocyte Repertoire Meta-Dynamics
A bstract. T he complexity of biological systems, and the explosion of the quantity of biological inf ormation which is rapidly becoming available from experimental and clinical studies, necessitate the use of theoretical tools, n amely, mathematical and computational modeling. The vertebrate adaptive immune system, with its learning a nd memory capabilities, is a particularly rich source of ...
متن کاملMultilevel Selection and Neighbourhood Effects from Individual to Metapopulation in a Wild Passerine
Multilevel selection has rarely been studied in the ecological context of animal populations, in which neighbourhood effects range from competition among territorial neighbours to source-sink effects among local populations. By studying a Dupont's lark Chersophilus duponti metapopulation, we analyze neighbourhood effects mediated by song repertoires on fitness components at the individual level...
