Traveling Waves for a Bistable Reaction-Diffusion Equation with Delay

The paper is devoted to a reaction-diffusion equation with delay arising in modeling the immune response. We prove the existence of traveling waves in the bistable case using the Leray--Schauder method. Differently from the previous works, we do not assume here quasi-monotonicity of the delayed reaction term.
