Abstract
“Although the majority of theories in immunology have been non-mathematical, there are a variety of quantitative questions whose solutions require mathematical analysis and mathematically formulated models” (Bell and Perelson 1978). It is necessary to subjoin that not only quantitative but many qualitative questions, too, require appropriate mathematical solutions (e. g., by the use of kinetic logic — see Přikrylová and Kůrka 1984).
