A general process of the immune system consists of effector stage and memory stage. Current theoretical studies of the immune system often focus on the memory stage and pay less attention on the function of non-immune system substances such as tissue cells in adjusting the dynamical behavior of the immune system. We propose a mathematical population model to investigate the interaction between influenza A virus(IAV) susceptible tissue cells and generic immune cells when the tissue is invaded by IAV. We carry out a linear stability analysis and numerically study the Neimark-Sacker bifurcation of the models. The behavior of the model system agrees with some important experimental or clinical observations for IAV. However, we show that without considering the space between tissue cells, the expected memory stage does not form. By considering the space which allows antibodies to bind antigens, the memory stage then forms without missing the property of the system in the effector stage.
Keywords: age-dependent mathematical model., IAV, memory stage, Immune system, effector stage.
