title = "Para-antibodies: An immunological model for clonal expansion based on bacteriophages and plasmids",
abstract = "This paper presents a novel method for modelling the growth of agents undergoing clonal expansion. Using the concept of plasmids, clonal agents are broken into components which can be judged independently of the agents themselves. These components can be redistributed by objects analogous to bacteriophages. Full algorithms for the model are given, and results of an implementation provided. The work presented in this paper has significant implications for the field of clonal expansion.",
