Mathematical Modeling of the Immune Response

Mathematical Modeling of the Immune Response presents a comprehensive examination of the history of development of mathematical models in immunology and discusses how these models are used by biologists. The book features the results of work done by the authors using a model showing the potential of interleukin 2 as an agent responsible for the proper control of the range of the immune response. Additional work by the authors regarding modeling autoimmunity and its treatment are discussed as well.
