Abstract: A binary model of the immune system is used to study the effects of evolution on the genetic encoding for antibody molecules. We report experiments which show that the evolution of immune system genes, simulated by the genetic algorithm, can induce a high degree of genetic organization even though that organization is not explicitly required by the fitness function. This secondary organization is related to the true fitness of an individual, in contrast to the sampled fitness which is the... (Update)

.... population [99] and (3) its ability to learn effectively, even when not all antibodies are expressed and not all antigens are presented [51]. This last experiment is particularly relevant to the more general question of how selection pressures operating only at the global,...

.... In previous work we used a binary model of the immune system to study the effects of evolution on the genetic representation of antibodies [4]. Here we have extended this model to include clonal selection, which is the learning process used by the immune system. Once this...
