A computer model of cellular interactions in the immune system

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. © 1992.
