However, despite the pioneering work of Lagreca et al. (2001) in developing a coupled map for studying the behavior of the mammalian immune system, their model did not consider these populations [1-6], which makes the model incomplete with respect to the regulation of the immune response by adaptive mechanisms. This omission opens up the possibility of extending their work by taking the soluble antibody populations into account. We have performed that work and present our immunological modeling and simulation findings in this paper.  aDynamic models  aMathematical models  aSimulation models  aModelo de Simulação  aModelo Matemático  aCélulas B  aModelo dinâmico  aSimulação dinâmica  tIn: KANWAR, J.
