The model analyzed in this paper is based on the model set forth by V.A. Kuznetsov and M.A. Taylor, which describes a competition between the tumor and immune cells. Kuznetsov and Taylor assumed that tumor-immune interactions can be described by a Michaelis-Menten function. In the present paper a simplified version of the Kuznetsov-Taylor model (where immune reactions are described by a bilinear term) is studied. On the other hand, the effect of time delay is taken into account in order to…

Mathematical Modeling of the Tumor-Immune System with Time Delay and Diffusion

This paper proposes a partial differential equation model based on the model introduced by V. A. Kuznetsov and M. A. Taylor, which explains the dynamics of a tumor–immune interaction system, where…

Numerical Simulations of a Delay Model for Immune System-Tumor Interaction

In this paper we consider a system of delay differential equations as a model for the dynamics of tumor-immune system interaction. We carry out a stability analysis of the proposed model. In…

Bifurcation Analysis of a Modified Tumor-immune System Interaction Model Involving Time Delay

We study stability and Hopf bifurcation analysis of a model that refers to the competition between the immune system and an aggressive host such as a tumor. The model which describes this competition…

DYNAMICS OF A MODEL OF TUMOR-IMMUNE

It is found that delay and noise can both induce the transition from low tumor burden equilibrium to high tumor equilibrium and suggest that the elimination of cancer depends on the basal level of the immune system rather than on its response speed to tumor growth.

Marchuk's Model of Immune System Dynamics with Application to Tumour Growth

The qualitative behaviour of solutions to the model and its simplification is described and many illustrations of recovery process, oscillations or lethal outcomes of a disease are shown.

A basic mathematical model of the immune response.

The model successfully replicates the so-called primary and secondary response and predicts the existence of a threshold level for the amount of pathogen germs or of transplanted tumor cells below which the host is able to eliminate the infectious organism or to reject the tumor graft.

Periodic dynamics in a model of immune system

The aim of this paper is to study periodic solutions of Marchuk’s model, i.e. the system of ordinary differential equations with time delay describing the immune reactions. The Hopf bifurcation…

Modeling immunotherapy of the tumor – immune interaction

The dynamics between tumor cells, immune-effector cells, and IL-2 are illustrated through mathematical modeling and the effects of adoptive cellular immunotherapy are explored to explain both short tumor oscillations in tumor sizes as well as long-term tumor relapse.

Time delays in proliferation and apoptosis for solid avascular tumour

The role of time delays in solid avascular tumour growth is considered. The model is formulated in terms of a reaction-diffusion equation and mass conservation law. Two main processes are taken into…
