SynopsisA 3 × 3 autonomous, non-linear system of ordinary differential equations modelling the immune response in animals to invasion by active self-replicating antigens has been introduced by G. I. Bell and studied by G. H. Pimbley Jr. Using Hopf's theorem on bifurcating periodic solutions and a stability criterion of Hsu and Kazarinoff, we obtain existence of a family of unstable periodic solutions bifurcating from one steady state of a reduced 2×2 form of the 3×3 system. We show that no periodic solutions bifurcate from the other steady state. We also prove existence and exhibit a stability criterion for families of periodic solutions of the full 3×3 system. We provide two numerical examples. The second shows existence of orbitally stable families of periodic solutions of the 3×3 system.
