Large-scale cellular automata simulations of the immune system response.
The sequential nature of the process allowing the immune system to learn how to withstand pathogen agents is explored by means of large-scale computer simulation of the Celada-Seiden immunological automaton. In accord with our previous results, it is found that the learning process proceeds via a sequential cascade in affinity space.
