RIGI and infection: [29] The ABM proposed here presents a suitable approach to follow the dynamics of the system in a reliable manner, and allows an understanding of the effects of stochasticity on inter-cellular interferon signaling. Fig. 4 shows the levels of Rig-I mRNA vs. interferon mRNA in individual cells, as obtained either from experimental results [29] (left) and from simulation (right) at 6 hrs after infection (top) and 10 hours after infection (bottom).
