Workshop 5: Immunology Models: Cell Signalling and Immune Dynamics
(May 10-14, 2004)
Organizers: Denise Kirschner, Jennifer Linderman, and Sergei Pilyugin
The general goal of this workshop is to bring together immune system theorists and experimental immunologists with mathematicians who can become stimulated by this exciting and important area, and who may be able to make an impact by contributing new methods and tools of analysis. First, we will consider how cells of the immune system receive and send signals, i.e., how their surface receptors initiate signaling cascades, and how these cells secrete lymphokines that stimulate other cells of the immune system. Next, we will focus on questions concerning cells of the immune system and how these cells respond and communicate with other cells and antigen. Lastly, we will explore the dynamics of interactions among B cells, T cells, and antigen presenting cells, and the regulation of these populations during an immune response. We will examine events occurring during immune responses, including the formation of spatial structures, such as germinal centers, as well as problems dealing with somatic mutation and affinity maturation. The mathematics employed will involve systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, cellular automata, stochastic processes, and computer simulation.
