Exactly five positive steady states in a two-ligand T-cell activation model

Unrefereed mathematical candidate. An explicit rational parameter choice for the full two-ligand T-cell activation model at N=100 has exactly five physical positive equilibria. A degree-201 integer certificate, scalar-equilibrium bijection and continuity argument establish the exact count, scalar simplicity and an open parameter neighborhood.
