✦ Synopsis

Mathematical modelling represents one of the methods we can use to find proper answers to questions stated to solve biological problems. This method is extraordinarily useful in cases of complex behavior of biological systems, i.e. in cases which are inconvenient to model experimentally or in cases where experimental modelling is possible but the interpretation of results requires some theoretical support. Mathematical model of the immune response regulated by interleukin 2 is presented as an example.

Mathematical models of this process are based on different assumptions. As mentioned by Hoffmann et al. (1986), first steps of the construction of mathematical models are relatively simple and easy when biological postulates are formulated properly, but many difficult mathematical problems (such as

A number of recent and past reports on the in vitro and in vivo roles of interleukin-2, interleukin-4, interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor-beta suggest that interleukin-2 plays a general role in the immune response. The other three lymphokines often play directive roles that determine the kin
