ABSTRACT: In this paper we present a model of the macrophageT lymphocyte interactions that generate ananti-tumor immune response. The modseple cifies i)induction of cytotoxic T lymphocytes, ii) antigenpresentation by macrophages, which leads to iii)activation of helper T cells, and iv) production oflymphoid factors, which induce a) cytotoxic macrophages,b) T lymphocyte proliferation, and c) aninflammation reaction. Tumor escape mechanisms(suppression, antigenic heterogeneity) have beendeliberately omitted from the model.
