Artificial Immune System AIS versus the Human Immune System

What do AIS and the Human immune system have in common?

• Both can detect non self or foreign objects

• Both can learn or adapt

• Both are complex

• All are correct

Artificial immune systems are NOT

• computer systems modeled off the principles and processes of natural immune systems,

• a living system using real cells

• computational problem solving algorithms in the fields of

  mathematics,

  computer engineering

  and information technology.

• have a wide array of applications mainly in computer engineering

Artificial Immune Systems refers to

• the field of study linking epidemeology and computer engineering for various applications

• the field of study linking cybersecurity and computer engineering for various applications

• the field of study linking immunology and computer engineering for various applications

• the field of study linking pulmonology and computer engineering for various applications

Artificial immune systems are computing systems developed in the similarly named field, and under the overarching field of _______________

• artificial intelligence

• artificial robots

• artificial virus programs

• artificial cyber-security

Clonal selection in the human immune system means to

• have T and B cells that respond to a foreign antigen but NOT to a self-antigen reproduce many copies of itself.

• have A and B cells that respond to a foreign antigen but NOT to a self-antigen reproduce many copies of itself.

• Some cells reproduce and some cells do, It is random

• Cells respond to no antigens are chosen and reproduce themselves.

Clonal selection in AIS means

• picking the best solution and making many copies of it

• Picking one solution but no copies are made

• picking many solutions but no copies are made

• picking many solutions and many copies are made

Negative selection in the Human Immune System

• If a B or T cell does not recognize an antigen OR it recognizes a self-antigen then the cells die

• If a B or T cell does not recognize an antigen OR it recognizes a self-antigen then the cells lives

• If a B or T cell does recognize an antigen OR it recognizes a self-antigen then the cells die

• If a B or T cell does not recognize an antigen AND it recognizes a self-antigen then the cells lives

Negative selection in AIS

• the detector compares the computer code and finds it different so it destroys it

• the detector compares the computer code and finds it the same so it destroys it

• the detector builds the computer code and finds it different so it destroys it

• the detector builds the computer code and finds it the same so it destroys it

Positive selection the Human Immune System

• If a B or T cell does recognize an antigen AND it does not recognize a self-antigen then the cells dies

• If a B or T cell does not recognize an antigen OR it recognizes a self-antigen then the cells lives

• If a B or T cell does recognize an antigen AND it does not recognizes a self-antigen then the cells lives

• If a B or T cell does recognize an antigen AND it recognizes a self-antigen then the cells lives

Positive selection in AIS

• the detector compares the computer code and finds it different so it keeps it

• the detector compares the computer code and finds it the same so it keeps it

• the detector builds the computer code and finds it different so it destroys it

• the detector builds the computer code and finds it the same so it destroys it
