Architecture of idiotypic networks: Percolation and scaling Behavior
Architecture of idiotypic networks: Percolation and scaling Behavior
We investigate a model where idiotypes (characterizing B lymphocytes and antibodies of an immune system) and anti-idiotypes are represented by complementary bit strings of a given length d allowing for a number of mismatches (matching rules). In this model, the vertices of the hypercube in dimension d represent the potential …
