A bifurcation analysis is developed for the initial value problem for a nonlinear system of integro-differential equations modelling the competition between tumor cells and immune system. It is shown that there exists a critical value of a bifurcation parameter separating situations where the immune
## Abstract This paper deals with the qualitative analysis of a model related to the description of two medical therapies which have been intensively developed in recent years. In particular, we refer to the modelling of the actions applied by proteins, to activate the immune defense, and to the co
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
