Delay differential model for tumour–immune dynamics with HIV infection of CD4⁺T-cells

Abstract excerpt

In this paper, we introduce ordinary and delay differential equations to describe the interactions between a malignant tumour and the immune system in vivo in the presence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection of CD4+ T-cells. In the delay model, we take into account the time lags required by the healthy effector cell components to recognize the pathogens and tumour cells. The models consist of four popu...
