A probabilistic view of immunology: drawing parallels with physics.

abstract：:The multimammate rat Mastomys natalensis, when infected with the filarial parasite Acanthocheilonema viteae, develops amicrofilaraemia. Worm recovery and the duration and intensity of microfilaraemia were analysed and related to the humoral and cellular immune responses of the host by using an antibody-dependent cell-...
