Virus! A project for 427
Project Outline
My Project is a very simple animated simulator of a Virus Cell infecting a host through the red blood cells. This simulator is loosely based on real world biology but is grossly simplified for purposes of the study.
There are some basic rules that apply to this mini sim-world.
- Red Blood cells can be Infected
- Virus' can only infect neighboring red cells
- Virus' cannot infect White blood cells
In terms of a simple immune system three types of white blood cells exist; Dendrite Cell, Lymphocytes and Eosinophil.
- Dendritic Cells can spawn other cells.
- Lymphocytes can kill viruses (and restore Red Blood Cells).
- Eosinophil cannot be infected. But does nothing more.
For some basic references see White Blood Cell
Initial Design
This is a basic overview of the simulator. It shows a basic spread of red blood cells and a variety of white blood cells.
Soon diagram will live here, yes.
