The dynamics of CD4+ T cell proliferation and regulation by Mingran Zhang, Junling Ma, Roderick Edwards, Meili Li

“…Contrary to this, our mathematical analysis establishes that the depletion of these cells is due to two pivotal factors: the saturation in the proliferation rate of helper CD4+ T cells at high IL-2 concentrations, and the activation rate of nTregs outpacing their death rate. This yields an excitable process, such that the proliferation starts once the helper T cell population passes a threshold. …”
