A probabilistic approach to antigen-antibody recognition

Expressions for the expected value and the variance of the longest matched segment on the surfaces of two random shapes are obtained. Applications of these estimates to antibody-antigen pattern recognition during immune response are considered. Methods of estimation of the involved probabilities are presented with relevant computational results.
