Questions of Stochasticity and Control in Immune Repertoires.

Four Scales of Interactions Underlying Immune Function How does the adaptive immune system generate robust immune responses despite stochasticity at the genetic, molecular, and cellular levels? To address this multidisciplinary challenge, perspectives from systems biology, mathematical modeling, evolution, and experimental immunology are required. With new single cell high-throughput technology, the time is ripe to discuss it.
