Modeling 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 کاملGenetic determination of the cytolytic T lymphocyte receptor repertoire.
The immune system has evolved a number of sophisticated molecular mechanisms that assure the maintenance of a highly diverse repertoire of lymphocyte receptors. In view of the vast potential for V region diversity, the immune system must judiciously choose specificities that are of greatest value for expression in the lymphocyte receptor repertoire. Indeed, .the. challen~e. to immunologists no ...
متن کاملA generalized cost Malmquist index to compare the productivities of units with negative data in DEA
In some data envelopment analysis (DEA) applications, some inputs of DMUs have negative values with positive cost. This paper generalizes the global cost Malmquist productivity index to compare the productivity of dierent DMUs with negative inputs in any two periods of times under variable returns to scale (VRS) technology, and then the generalized index is decomposed to several components. The...
متن کاملThe Shape of the Lymphocyte Receptor Repertoire: Lessons from the B Cell Receptor
Both the B cell receptor (BCR) and the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoires are generated through essentially identical processes of V(D)J recombination, exonuclease trimming of germline genes, and the random addition of non-template encoded nucleotides. The naïve TCR repertoire is constrained by thymic selection, and TCR repertoire studies have therefore focused strongly on the diversity of MHC-b...
متن کاملHuman cytotoxic T-lymphocyte repertoire to influenza A viruses.
The murine CD8(+) cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte (CTL) repertoire appears to be quite limited in response to influenza A viruses. The CTL responses to influenza A virus in humans were examined to determine if the CTL repertoire is also very limited. Bulk cultures revealed that a number of virus proteins were recognized in CTL assays. CTL lines were isolated from three donors for detailed study and foun...
