A control theoretic approach to venom immunotherapy with state jumps

We investigate a model-based control method to boost the immune response. We apply this control method to select the appropriate immune response between the Th1 and Th2 responses. The idea of state jump is discussed using hybrid models notation. To implement the control idea we propose physically available methods.
