Immune Memory mechanism Inspired by Dynamical Systems of Antibody Chains

Immune memory of antigens are formed as limit behavior of cyclic idiotypic immune networks equipped with antibody dynamics. Immune memory mechanism is studied by combining network structure and dynamical systems. Moreover, associative memory can be explored by network dynamics determined by affinity index of antibody chain. Antibody chains with larger affinity indexes generate associative immune memory.
