    Abstract

    The adaptive immune system has a humoral response where memory B cells are formed for the rapid deployment of antibody to clear the virus from the host system. We develop a model for primary and secondary infections by acute virus and compare the results of the model for both immunocompetent individual and an immune system that has been suppressed by pregnancy.
