Statistical physics of immune-viral co-evolution
The immune system within each individual host destroys viruses, which manage to escape immunity on the global scale. Recent experiments show population-level responses of both immune repertoires and viruses, and a history dependence of their functional phenotypes. This constrained long-term co-evolution of immune receptor and viral populations is a stochastic many-body problem occurring at many scales, in which the response emerges based on the past states of both the repertoire and viral populations. STRUGGLE infers the details of viral-immune receptor interactions from functional datasets to obtain a predictive statistical model of co-evolution between immune repertoires and viruses.…
