Abstract

The human immune system is determined by the functionality of the human lymph node. With the use of high-throughput techniques in clinical diagnostics, a large number of data is currently collected. The new data on the spatiotemporal organization of cells offers new possibilities to build a mathematical model of the human lymph node - a virtual lymph node. The virtual lymph node can be applied to simulate drug responses and may be used in clinical diagnosis. Here, we review mathematical models of the human lymph node from the viewpoint of cellular processes. Starting with classical methods, such as systems of differential equations, we discuss the values of different levels of abstraction and methods in the range from artificial intelligence techniques formalism.
