Modelling a competitive antibody/antigen chemical reaction that occurs in the fluorescence capillary-fill device

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

A mathematical model in the form of two coupled diffusion equations is provided for a competitive chemical reaction between an antigen and a labelled antigen for antibody sites on a cell wall; boundary conditions are such that the problem is both nonlinear and nonlocal. This is then re-characterized as a pair of coupled singular integro-differential equations which is solved by a product integration method. Some numerical results based on real data are presented.
