CELLULAR NEURAL NETWORK MODELS OF GROWTH AND IMMUNE OF EFFECTOR CELLS RESPONSE TO CANCER

Abstract

Four reaction-diffusion cellular neural network (R-D CNN) models are set up based on the differential equation models for the growths of effector cells and cancer cells, and the model of the immune response to cancer proposed by Allison et al. The CNN models have different reaction-diffusion coefficients and coupling parameters. The R-D CNN models may provide possible quantitative interpretations, and are good in agreement with the in vitro experiment data reported by Allison et al.
