In this work we aim to bridge theoretical immunology and disordered statistical mechanics.We introduce a model for the behavior of B-cells which naturally merges the clonal selection theory and the autopoietic network theory as a whole.From the analysis of its features we recover several basic phenomena such as low-dose tolerance, dynamical memory of antigens and self/non-self discrimination.
