Abstract
Innate immunity is crucial in the early stages of resistance to novel viral infection. The family of cytokines known as the interferons (IFNs) forms an essential component of this system: they are responsible for signalling that an infection is underway and for promoting an antiviral response in susceptible cells. We construct a spatial stochastic model, parameterized by experimental data and informed by analytic approximation, to capture the dynamics of virus-IFN interaction during in vitro infection of Madin-Darby bovine kidney cell monolayers by Herpes simplex virus 1. The dose dependence of infection progression, subsequent monolayer destruction and IFN-beta production are investigated. Implications for in vivo infections, in particular the priming of susceptible cells by IFN-beta during infection, are considered.
期刊介绍:
J. R. Soc. Interface welcomes articles of high quality research at the interface of the physical and life sciences. It provides a high-quality forum to publish rapidly and interact across this boundary in two main ways: J. R. Soc. Interface publishes research applying chemistry, engineering, materials science, mathematics and physics to the biological and medical sciences; it also highlights discoveries in the life sciences of relevance to the physical sciences. Both sides of the interface are considered equally and it is one of the only journals to cover this exciting new territory. J. R. Soc. Interface welcomes contributions on a diverse range of topics, including but not limited to; biocomplexity, bioengineering, bioinformatics, biomaterials, biomechanics, bionanoscience, biophysics, chemical biology, computer science (as applied to the life sciences), medical physics, synthetic biology, systems biology, theoretical biology and tissue engineering.
