Examining the dynamics of Epstein-Barr virus shedding in the tonsils and the impact of HIV-1 coinfection on daily saliva viral loads
Fig 3
Description of single crypt dynamics.
Waldeyer’s ring is represented as a series of 240 individual crypts in which infection dynamics occur. Within each crypt, the population dynamics of infected epithelial cells (I), cytotoxic T cells (T) and EBV (V) are described. The viral load detected in saliva is represented by the total virus aggregated across all crypts.
