Abstract

Follicular dendritic cells (FDC) play a crucial role in the regulation of immunity. They are believed to be responsible for long-term persistence of humoral antibody following vaccination or infection, due to their role in antibody response induction and their ability to retain antigen for long periods. In this paper, a regulatory control model is described which links persistence of humoral immunity with cellular processes associated with FDCs. The model predicts universal and stable reciprocal-time (= 1/t) decay of humoral antibody levels, which has been widely reported over a range of ages, observation times and vaccine types.
