Abstract :
Immune memory can be regarded as a equilibrium state of immune network system with nonlinear behavior. The rapid response of immune systems to the second-time antigen is owing to the stable structure of memory state forming by a closed loop of the idiotypic immune network. A dynamical system is proposed which explains how the memory state is formed and stabilized in the immune network.
