The paper reviews mathematical models of immunological processes associated with reactions of the total immunity system and its single formations: infectious diseases, in vivo experiments with cell cultures, cell proliferation and differentiation in the thymus, primary and secondary immune responses to the antigen, immunodeficient states, etc. It also gives models of immunological reactions in vitro: precipitation, agglutination, plaque formation, etc. The paper contains a short description of potentialities of mathematical models of biological processes.
