Phase transitions in immune networks
The transitions between different regime dynamics
of Jerne networks are investigated both numerically
and algebraically. Possible
attractor regimes are vaccination, tolerance, extended
localized or percolation. Parameters are activation thresholds,
decay rates, proliferation maximum rate and antigen
presentation parameters.
