Abstract: The model of de Boer, Segel and Perelson, where the various shapes of antibodies are represented by sites on ad-dimensional lattice and where the antibody concentrations change with time only by constant factors, is simulated in one to ten dimensions, with millions of sites. The algorithm is fully vectorized in spite of the many if-conditions which allow one program to deal with all dimensionsd. We find that an initially localized perturbation may spread over the whole lattice in high dimensions but prefers to remain localized in low dimensions.
