Modeling the immune response of pigs to PRRS virus

Modeling the immune response of pigs to PRRS virus

Some pathogens with respiratory tropism infect macrophages, compromising the effectiveness of the immune response.

The complex interaction between pathogens and the immune system is still poorly understood and this is a barrier to the development of more effective vaccines. An original integrative model has been developed to study the results expected from the complex interactions between known immune response mechanisms.
