Replacing Variable in an ODE

syms T(t)
ode = diff(T,t) == (Lemda-(Sigma.*T));
cond = T(0) == To;
Solution = dsolve(ode, cond)
ERRORS; (Not replacing with a variable)
Undefined function or variable 'Lemda'.
Error in Project (line 11)
ode = diff(T,t) == (Lemda-(Sigma.*T));

Are Lamda and sigma constants or vaiables!
It does not matter. dsolve() is for symbolic expressions, so we can create symbolic variables without caring about whether they will later be constants or later will be changed.
Thanks Walter.

syms T(t) Lemda Sigma To
ode = diff(T,t) == (Lemda-(Sigma.*T));
cond = T(0) == To;
Solution = dsolve(ode, cond)

Are these answers the same? Because the solution goes this way where i made assumptions as following
%Assumptions
% Lemda = constant input source of uninfected cells per day
% Sigma = normal loss rate constant of uninfected cells
% Beta = infection rate constant of uninfected cells per infected cell
% Mu = loss rate constant of infected cells
% Gamma = loss rate constant of free virus
% N = number of virions produced per day per infected cell
