Query: Ag-dependent (in silico) approach implies a deterministic kinetics for
  homeostatic memory cell turnover   Verhulst-like mathematical modeling has been used to investigate several
complex biological issues, such as immune memory equilibrium and cell-mediated
immunity in mammals. The regulation mechanisms of both these processes are
still not sufficiently understood. In a recent paper, Choo et al. [J. Immunol.,
v. 185, pp. 3436-44, 2010], used an Ag-independent approach to quantitatively
analyze memory cell turnover from some empirical data, and concluded that
immune homeostasis behaves stochastically, rather than deterministically. In
the paper here presented, we use an in silico Ag-dependent approach to simulate
the process of antigenic mutation and study its implications for memory
dynamics. Our results have suggested a deterministic kinetics for homeostatic
equilibrium, what contradicts the Choo et al. findings. Accordingly, our
calculations are an indication that a more extensive empirical protocol for
studying the homeostatic turnover should be considered.
