An agent-based approach to immune modelling

TL;DR: In this paper, an agent-based approach is used to extract high-level behaviour which cannot be described analytically from the set of interaction rules at the cellular level and a prototype model encompasses local variation in baseline properties contributing to the individual disease experience and is included in a network which mimics the chain of lymphatic nodes.

An Agent-Based Approach to Immune Modelling: Priming Individual Response

TL;DR: This study focuses on examining why the range of experience with respect to HIV infection is so diverse, especially in regard to the latency period, and proposes a prototype model which encompasses local variation in baseline properties, contributing to the individual disease experience.

In Silico Biology: Making the Most of Parallel Computing

TL;DR: This chapter focuses on the application of the agent-based paradigm in the context of the immune response to HIV, and explicit implementation of lymph nodes and the associated lymph network, including lymphatic chain structure, is a key objective, and requires parallelisation of the model.
