Particular attention is given to a biologically-relevant asymptotic limit of the problem, for which the solutions, including the endosome escape time, can be explicitly characterised in terms of the model parameters.enJournal article002006429810.1007/s00285-004-0296-00002279061000032-s2.0-1744442328850393
