The Generative Grammar of the Immune System

An analogy is drawn between linguistics & immunology. The repertoire of possible responses of the immune system is likened to a vocabulary comprised of sentences rather than words. The genetically coded "deep structure" of the immune system is considered, as well as the semantics of in...
