A Schematic representation of the tumor-immune predator-prey model, illustrating various kernel sizes for tumor growth (K11), predation distance (K12), immune recruitment (K21), and density-dependent death distance in the immune system (K22). B, C Impact of different predation distances (K12) and immune recruitment (K21) on the integration results of the tumor-immune predator-prey model, with other kernels held well-mixed. D Effect of varying predation and recruitment (K12 and K21) on the time to tumor regression (considered when there are 2% tumor cells in the area) and the peak value in the immune response. E Spatial outcomes of the tumor and immune response in the model, showcasing the influence of different kernel sizes. See corresponding Supplementary Movie 2. Unless otherwise noted, parameters used are γ = 5, b = 12, g = 1.5, d = 1, L = 0.08 (see eqns. (6)–(7)).
