Dynamics of a generalized viral infection model with adaptive immune response

Abstract: A mathematical model for viral infection is formulated by five nonlinear differential equations to describe the interactions between virus, host cells, and the adaptive immune response represented by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) cells and the antibodies. The infection transmission process is modeled by a general incidence function which covers several forms existing in models that studied viral infections such as HIV and HBV infections. Based on the direct Lyapunov method, the global stability of the equilibr… Show more

“…Whereas, when this basic reproduction number is greater than one, the activation of one or both arms of adaptive immune response is unable to eradicate the virus and the viral infection persists, but plays an important role in the reduction the viral load, increasing the healthy cells and decreasing the infected cells. This conclusion was observed by Hattaf et al [2]. The last biological conclusion of this work is to give two possible reasons of non-coordination between the humoral and cellular immune responses that could be the explanation of the dysfunction of the adaptive immune response in viral infections such HBV, which is still largely incomplete [32].…”
