Abstract
A model for the B-cell response to antigen challenge is proposed which makes use of an integral constraint to model the thresholds. This type of constraint leads to functional, rather than ordinary, differential equations. The model differs from previous models of this type in that it allows for the disassociation of the receptor-antigen complexes and allows for a weighting function in the integral constraint.
