HIV dynamics in sequence space Shiwu Zhang Based on [Kamp2002from, Kamp2002co-evolution]
Issues on HIV dynamics • HIV infection in patient • HIV development stages. [Santos2001, Hershberg2000, AAMAS-HIVreport] • Factors influence (mutation rate, antigenic diversity…) • Distribution of HIV latency period [Kamp2002from, Kamp2002co-evolution] • HIV epidemic • Spreading on social network [Dezso2002, Satorras2001]
Background: Percolation theory • Occupation probability (Susceptibility) • Clusters • Spanning probability (transmissibility) • Percolation threshold (Pc)
Background: Sequence space • Viral genome & immune receptor: length l • Viral mutation: change one bit (1,2, …) • Constructing a sequence space, size= l • Viral mutation means random walk in space • Dimension: l
Model • Site status • Susceptible S(t) • Site can harbor a virus • Infected v(t) • Site is infected by virus • Recovered R(t) • After immune response (immune memory) • Viral genome is not arbitrary (D0) • Immunological presence (0)
Model (2) • Rules: • Random select site • If the site harbor immune receptor • Mutate with certain probability • If mutate and the mutant match an infected site then set the infected site to recovered • If the site is infected • Mutate with certain probability • If a new strain is generated and corresponds to a susceptible site, the site become infected • For HIV, another rule • Viral strain has probability is(t) to meet an receptor infect it with probability p
Result • Simulation result could capture HIV population dynamics from clinical latency stage to onset on AIDS, but fail to reflect initial immune response • Initial distribution 0 is important factor to affect result • Increasing probability p will shorten waiting time • Distribution of HIV incubation period distribution from simulation fits in well with that from real data
Summary • Characteristics: • Sequence space • Percolation theory • Accounting for important interactions • HIV mutation • Immune cells stimulation • Immune system’s global ability:memory • Shortage: • Omitting physical space • Using strain denote population (without strain size distribution) • Don’t account for initial response
