How the Interval between Prime and Boost Injection Affects the Immune Response in a Computational Model of the Immune System
Table 1
Biological rules coding for interactions between cells or among cells and molecules and other specific mechanisms of the immune system. Each of the entries of this list corresponds to an algorithm implementing a specific activity of the immune cells.
