Table 1. Summary of agents, data layers, and their interactions encoded in the ABM.

Substances in ABM Cell Sources in ABM Biological Functions in ABM
DAMPs secreted by damaged Tissue cells Chemo-attract and Activate Neutrophils
TNF-α secreted by Activated Neutrophils Chemo-attract resting and M1 Macrophages, activate Macrophages to M1 state
IL-1β secreted by M1 Macrophages Chemo-attract resting and M1 Macrophages, activate Macrophages to M1 state, at high levels activate Macrophages to M2 state
TGF-β1 secreted by M2 Macrophages Chemo-attract resting and M2 Macrophages, activate Macrophages to M2 state
ROS secreted by Tissue Cells on Reperfusion, by Neutrophils on death Injure Tissue Cells
Oxidase produced inside Tissue Cells during Ischemia React with Oxygen to produce ROS
Oxygen released by Blood Vessels Necessary for Tissue Cell health, react with Oxidase to produce ROS

Substances are all encoded as Data Layers; Cells are all encoded as Agents, each with its own type. See Fig 1B for schematic.
