Abstract: We study the global dynamics of within-host viral infection model with virus DNA- containing capsids. The effect of antibody immune response has been considered. The uninfected cell become infected due to its contacts with a virus or an infected cell. The incidence rate is given by saturation. The well-posedness of the model is establised.We utilise Lyapunov method and apply LaSalle's invariance principle to prove the global stability of the equilibria. We support our theoretical results by numerical simulations.

Keywords: viral infection; global stability; Lyapunov function; capsids; immune system; numerical simulations.
