Abstract
- In this paper, the tumor-immune dynamics are simulated by solving a nonlinear system of differential equations. The fractional-order mathematical model incorporated with three Michaelis-Menten terms to indicate the saturated effect of immune response, the limited immune response to the tumor and to account the self-limiting production of cytokine interleukin-2. Two types of treatments were considered in the mathematical model to demonstrate the importance of immunotherapy. The limiting values of these treatments were considered, satisfying the stability criteria for fractional differential system. A graphical analysis is made to highlight the effects of antigenicity of the tumor and the fractional-order derivative on the tumor mass. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
