1. AplicaÃÃo de sistemas imunolÃgicos artificiais para prediÃÃo da estrutura de proteÃnas / Artificial immune systems aplication for protein structure prediction
This work presents hybrid Immune-based Systems to solve the Protein Folding Problem for the three-dimensional hydrofobic-Polar model (3D HP). The Protein Structure Prediction consists of finding the spacial arrangement of a proteinâs amino acids that has a minimal energy. The proposed methodology is focused on Artificial Immune Systems supported by but uses

2. Evolução de redes imunologicas para coordenação automatica de comportamentos elementares em navegação autonoma de robos / Evolution of immune networks for automatic coordination of elementary behaviors on robot autonomous navigation
A concepção de sistemas autônomos de navegação para robôs móveis, havendo múltiplos objetivos simultâneos a serem atendidos, como a coleta de lixo com manutenção da integridade, requer a adoção de técnicas refinadas de coordenação de módulos de comportamento elementar. Modelos de redes imunológicas artificiais podem então ser empregados na

3. An idiotypic network model of AIDS immunopathogenesis.
Considerations from a network theory of the immune system suggest that human immunodeficiency virus and allogeneic stimuli may act synergistically to cause AIDS. The immune responses to these stimuli include two components that are directed against each other. In some AIDS risk groups other antigens that mimic major histocompatibility complex antigens may su

4. Network Theory in Autoimmunity: IN VITRO SUPPRESSION OF SERUM ANTI-DNA ANTIBODY BINDING TO DNA BY ANTI-IDIOTYPIC ANTIBODY IN SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS
Regulation of serum anti-DNA antibody in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by an antiidiotypic antibody was evaluated. Various sera from SLE patients in active and inactive states of their disease, as well as sera from normal individuals, were first completely depleted of anti-DNA and of DNA by affinity chromatography. The suppressive capacity of equimolar

5. Anti-idiotypic antibodies as probes of protein active sites: application to cholera toxin subunit B.
Since Jerne proposed a "network" theory of immune regulation, the properties of anti-idiotypic antibodies (anti-IdAb) have been investigated widely. Anti-IdAb raised against antibodies to a variety of ligands have been shown to bind the ligands' receptors. Thus, the combining site of an anti-IdAb may contain information regarding the three-dimensional struct
