Description
Summary:The antigen-antibody interaction occurring previous to the triggering of the immunological response is analyzed as a relational process in terms of lattices. Accordingly, this process is expressed as a lattice belonging to a pseudo-Boolean algebraic variety. The Heyting arrow operation, which appears in this kind of algebra, is used to analyze behaviors between non-comparable biological states expressed by the lattice. The resulting states coming from the arrows are connected with the influence of increasing and decreasing energies involved in the linking process.
