Episome partitioning and symmetric cell divisions: Quantifying the role of random events in the persistence of HPV infections
Table 1
Parameters notation and description along with their biologically estimated ranges.
The parameters p, λ, C and N0 govern the intracellular process, the three others are involved in the inter-cellular approach. Another parameter (not numerical) can be added to the list: the type of intracellular amplification (Dirac or Poisson distributed) as the two types slightly differ in their construction. Extensive analysis of the impact of each distribution on the probability of extinction is shown in S1 Text.
