Mathematical Modeling of T-Cell Receptor Triggering and Activation
T-cells form a crucial component of the immune system, and play a key role in the development of adaptive immunity. On stimulation by foreign peptides, they differentiate into specialized helper and cytotoxic T-cells which orchestrate the adaptive immune response. In this project, we looked at the molecular basis of T-cell activation; in particular, mathematical modeling of the reaction kinetic...
متن کاملModeling the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Granuloma – the Critical Battlefield in Host Immunity and Disease
Granulomas are the hallmark of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) infection and thus sit at the center of tuberculosis (TB) immunopathogenesis. TB can result from either early progression of a primary granuloma during the infection process or reactivation of an established granuloma in a latently infected person. Granulomas are compact, organized aggregates of immune cells consisting of blood-de...
متن کاملModeling Mycobacterium tuberculosis early granuloma formation in experimental human lung tissue
The widely used animal models for tuberculosis (TB) display fundamental differences from human TB. Therefore, a validated model that recapitulates human lung TB is attractive for TB research. Here, we describe a unique method for establishment of TB infection in an experimental human lung tissue model. The model is based on cell lines derived from human lungs and primary macrophages from periph...
متن کاملMathematical modeling for the activation of T-lymphocytes: Population balance modeling with non conventional growth law
This article focuses on the mathematical modeling techniques applied to the particulate processes in biological sciences particularly Immunology. T-cell activation is studied with respect to their surface protein (CD3) concentration that is described in-terms of two particulate processes, growth and birth processes. The production of new proteins and change in their concentrations (on cells) ha...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling of the Temperature-Dependent Growth of Living Systems
In this investigation a non-equilibrium thermodynamic model of the temperature dependent biological growth of a living systems has been analyzed. The results are derived on the basis of Gompertzian growth equation. In this model, we have considered the temperature dependent growth rate and development parameter. The non-equilibrium thermodynamic model is also considered for exploring the variat...
