Abstract
The vertebrate immune system is a wonder of modern evolution. Occasionally, however, correlations within the immune system lead to inappropriate recruitment of preexisting T cells against novel viral diseases. We present a random energy theory for the correlations in the naive and memory T cell immune responses. The non-linear susceptibility of the random energy model to structural changes captures the correlations in the immune response to mutated antigens. We show how the sequence-level diversity of the T cell repertoire drives the dynamics of the immune response against mutated viral antigens.
