Abstract

The paper reviews mathematical models of immunological processes associated with reactions of the total immunity system and its single formations: infectious diseases, in vivo experiments with cell cultures, cell proliferation and differentiation in the thymus, primary and secondary immune responses to the antigen, immunodeficient states, etc. It also gives models of immunological reactions in vitro: precipitation, agglutination, plaque formation, etc. The paper contains a short description of potentialities of mathematical models of biological processes.

Antibodies: Agglutination

Antibody-mediated agglutination is the clumping of cells in the presence of antibody, which binds multiple cells together. This enhances the clearance of pathogens. Find the latest research on antibody-mediated agglutination here.
