Abstract
This paper deals with the analysis of the cellular dynamics of tumors inter acting with the immune system in the presence of cytokine signals. The aim is to develop an immuno-mathematical theory suitable to describe the cellul ar and macroscopic behavior of the system. The paper presented here develop s ideas towards this objective and towards the analysis of several open pro blems.
