title: A computer model of cellular interactions in the immune system.
abstract: The power of modern computers allows the modeling and simulation of complex biological systems. The last decade has seen the emergence of a growing number of simulations of the immune system. In this article, Franco Celada and Philip Seiden present a model that, they suggest, is rich enough to allow computer experiments to be used as practical adjuncts to the usual biological experiments, at a saving of cost and time.
