Mathematical modeling for the activation of T-lymphocytes: Population balance modeling with non conventional growth law
نویسنده
چکیده
This article focuses on the mathematical modeling techniques applied to the particulate processes in biological sciences particularly Immunology. T-cell activation is studied with respect to their surface protein (CD3) concentration that is described in-terms of two particulate processes, growth and birth processes. The production of new proteins and change in their concentrations (on cells) has created the idea of balance law in the form of hyperbolic problems. In order to add a new dimension to the problem, CPBM (Cell Population Balance Model) is used with respect to multi-proteins concentrations. A mathematical model is used to find analytical solution while Finite volume scheme is used to approximate numerically the solution of PBE (Population Balance Equation) in order to anticipate and analyze the density of activated T-cells according to the given initial protein concentration.

متن کاملMathematical modeling of T-cells activation dynamics for CD3 molecules recycling process
The down regulation of CD3 protein present on the surface of a T-cell triggers the process of activation. A rapid decrease of CD3 from the surface is required to reach the threshold that is necessary for the continuation of the activation process. By flow cytometry technique, it is well established that an amount of down regulated CD3 proteins recycle and may come on the surface of T-cell. This...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling for Homogeneous Tumor with Delay in Time
Due to the properties of tumor cell, the tumor establishes itself in the organ and grows there, so there is a competition between the tumor cells and host cell (normal cells) for nutrients. Evidences show that high dietary phosphorus increases the rate of protein synthesis and thus the cell number. So, other than oxygen, sulfur, the important element that both tumor cells and normal cells need ...
