As detailed in the text, these parameters are included in Eqs (1) and (2) as depicted by Fig 1). Values are taken from citations given, varied as noted, or calculated as necessary. All parameters are dimensions 1/day except non-cytolytic immune response, u, which is dimensionless. See text or cited references for more description of these items.
