Abstract
In this paper we analyze a model (Behn and van Hemmen, 1989a,b) which is based on the concept of idiotypic networks formed by B lymphocytes (Jerne 1974, 1984; for recent reviews see, e.g., Perelson, 1988, 1989, Varela and Coutinho, 1991) and shows that there is a synergy of two mechanisms for memory.
