Quantitative modeling of the effect of antigen dosage on B-cell affinity distributions in maturating germinal centers

Affinity maturation is a complex dynamical process allowing the immune system to generate antibodies capable of recognizing antigens. We introduce a model for the evolution of the distribution of affinities across the antibody population in germinal centers. The model is amenable to detailed mathema...
