## Abstract An attempt has been made to test the immunostimulation hypothesis of Prehn which proposes that, in its initial stages, the immune response to tumourβspecific antigens stimulates rather than inhibits tumor growth. Mice have been injected with cells from three different methylcholanthrene

In this paper we study a model of necrotic tumor growth. The tumor comprises necrotic cells which occupy a radially symmetric core and life proliferating cells which occupy a radially symmetric shell adjacent to the core. The proliferating cells receive nutrients through diffusion from the outer bou
A variety of immune system cells can recognize and destroy the autologous turnor cells. For the realization of the cytotoxic function of the effector cells, their close contact with the surface of the target cells is necessary. Such close contact can be realized not only through direct cell-cell rec
