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
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
Can HIV attach itself to a muscle cell or a skin cell?
No, HIV cannot attach itself to a muscle or a skin cell because the antigens on the HIV membrane are not complementary to their binding sites. However, HIV can attach itself to a helper T cell because the antigens on the HIV membrane are complementary to the binding sites of the helper T cells.
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
Why does the T cell concentration decrease after two years?
HIV destroys T-cells
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.
