Popis: | A mathematical model for leukopoiesis has been proposed in literature, consisting of a system of ordinary differential equations with two delays. The aim of this study was to verify the assumption that the model is applicable also for T, B and NK cell recovery after stem cell transplantation and to tune the model parameters on the base of clinical data. The numerical tests illustrate the influence of the model parameters to the behavior of the monitored white blood cell populations. They also show that for certain parameter values the numerically obtained behaviour of B cells is in agreement with the clinical data. |
