Immune Network and Immune Memory Mechanism: Perspectives on Dynamical Systems

Immune memory can be considered as an equilibrium state of immune network system with nonlinear dynamical behavior. The rapid response of immune systems to the second-time antigen is owing to the stable structure of memory state forming by a closed loop of the idiotypic immune network. A dynamical system of cell population is proposed which explains how the memory state is formed and stabilized in the immune network.
