What happens to HIV when it enters the t cell?
it reproduces
What happens to t cell once hiv enters them?
They are destroyed.
What happens to the t cell once HIV enters them?
They are destroyed.
What happens to HIV when it enters a t-cells?
it reproduces
What happens when HIV enters the body.?
It attacks and destroys a particular kind of lymphocyte called helper T cells.
What virus causes AIDS?
The virus that causes AIDS is HIV(Human Immunodeficiency Virus) HIV infects and affects the body's key component of immunity which is the T-cell This HIV enters the host T-cell and replicates its RNA( Ribonucleic acid ) into the body's DNA( Deoxyribonucleic acid) leading to the body to produce more HIV virus cell as the T-cell virus replicates and the HIV virus renders the T-cell useless as they try to fight of diseases or even the common flu HIV progresses to AIDS when the T-cell count in the body drops below 200 or any one of the 26 opportunistic conditions which does not occur in healthy people
One step of HIV infection process is the T-cell is turned into a duplication mechanism that continues to make copies of the virus?
In HIV infection, the virus binds to the CD4 receptor on T-cells and enters the cell. Once inside, the virus replicates using the host cell's machinery, turning the T-cell into a factory for producing more viruses. This process eventually leads to the destruction of T-cells and weakening of the immune system.
What occurs if a t cell binds to an antigen and the t cell does not receive a costimulatory signal?
The T cell enters a state of anergy
What are the events that happen when you get HIV?
HIV is a deadly virus.When HIV enters your body it attacks and destroyslymphocytes called HELPER T cells that make antibodies fight infections. And eventually the lymphocytes ( HELPER T) gets weaken and the person dies from HIV....
What is the specific blood cell to which HIV is attached is it CXCR4-T or gp120-T or CCR5-T or CD4-T or CD8-T?
CD4+ or T=helper cell.
The portion of HIV that binds to the T-cell helper?
CD4
How does hiv take over and reproduce in t cells?
The HIV viral cell attaches itself to a T-cell in a lock and key fashion. It specifically targets these cells. Once it attaches itself, it begins the process of entering the cell until it reaches the nucleus of the T-cell. There is goes about converting the genetic structure of the T-cell until eventually, a new HIV cells is produced. In most cases, the T-cell dies in the process. This process is produced millions of times over. This is why it is said that the HIV virus destroys the immune system.
