Abstract. This work is devoted to development of mathematical model, describing processes of Th and B lymphocyte proliferation and differentiation, as well as IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4 and IL-21 cytokine secretion. New approaches are suggested, allowing more accurate modelling. Special attention paid to Th17 lymphocyte impact to effect of plasma cells and IgM and IgG antibody level increasing.
Key words: systems immunology, lymphocyte, cytokine network, IgM, IgG, IL-17.
