Can HIV cells be found in plants?
HIV cells are not found in plants. Forms of the HIV virus only exist in Primates and Felines.
How is a hiv virus different from a cold virus?
HIV attacks helper T cells that are trying to fight infection, rather than attacking healthy body cells like a cold virus does. HIV attacks lymphocytes directly.
What type of virus infects t cells?
HIV The human immunodeficiency virus is a lentivirus that causes HIV infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
What virus attacks the cells in the immune system that produce antibodies?
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) attacks the T cells, which are a type of immune cell that plays a crucial role in coordinating the immune response, including the production of antibodies. By destroying these cells, HIV weakens the immune system's ability to fight infections effectively.
How is HIV different from other virus pathogens?
HIV targets the immune system's CD4 cells, which are crucial for fighting off infections, leading to a weakened immune system over time. Additionally, HIV can integrate its genetic material into the host cell's DNA, making it difficult to eradicate from the body. These characteristics make HIV unique compared to other viruses.
Which blood cells are NOT involved in AIDS?
AIDS is a condition that is a reflection of a person's immune function and has no impact on any cells of the body. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes a person to develop AIDS. HIV attacks blood cells that are associated with immune function. Red blood cells would be an example of cells unaffected by HIV. HIV attacks immune cells because it needs them to replicate. The more the virus replicates the more new virus is introduced into the system and more white blood cells are then affected.
How is HIV inefection different from a cold virus infection?
HIV attacks the helper T cells
What is an infectious disease caused by a virus that attacks disease fighting cells in the blood?
HIV infection or AIDS is the disease, which you have infection by HIV virus, that attacks disease fighting cells in the blood.
Does HIV attack the white blood cells and red blood cell?
HIV primarily attacks the white blood cells, specifically CD4 cells which are a type of T-cell involved in the immune response. It does not directly target red blood cells. However, HIV can indirectly affect red blood cells by causing anemia in some cases due to the impact on the immune system.
Virus is a bloodborne infection in which the virus damages or kills the cells of the immune system?
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
What does the HIV virus avoid by growing within the T-cells?
The HIV virus manages to avoid the things that can typically harm it. That is, by growing within the T-cells, it manages to avoid all of the antibodies.antibodies
