The aim of this paper is to discuss biological and computational models of tumor-immune system interactions. To this end we provid first a short introduction to the field of general immunology, then a more in-depth exposition of cancer immunology. Finally we discuss a first approach to vaccine that prevent tumor onset from a biological point of view and we describe how to reproduce this phenomenon from a computational model.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to discuss biological and computational models of tumor-immune system interactions. To this end we provid first a short introduction to the field of general immunology, then a more in-depth exposition of cancer immunology. Finally we discuss a first approach to vaccine that prevent tumor onset from a biological point of view and we describe how to reproduce this phenomenon from a computational model.
