AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a diagnosis, not a disease that can be fought.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS. HIV attacks the cells in the body that fight disease and uses them to reproduce. The body's immune response only serves to benefit the virus.
i read somewhere that it has something to trick the receptors into thinking it's not harmful when in fact it truely is. That being said, they don't attack it and allows it to roam the insides of the body and continue to replicate.
An immune response is part of the body's defense against pathogens in which cells of the immune system react to each kind of pathogen with a defense targeted specifically toward that pathogen.
White Blood Cells
The molecules on pathogens that enable the immune system to distinguish one kind of pathogen from another are called antigens. Antibodies destroy pathogens by binding to the antigens on the pathogen.
the inactive form still has the antigens (protein markers) specific to that pathogen on the surface. the immune system develops specific responses to this pathogen when it is encountered after a vaccination. as it is inactive the person does not suffer the effects of this pathogen, but when an active form is encountered later the immune system is quicker to respond due to the fact that it now recognises those antigens.
a lymphocyte
Yes.
They grow and multiply with ease.
Crohn's disease is an auto-immune disorder where the immune system attacks the cells of the small intestines. It is treated by monthly infusions of Remicade, which suppresses the immune system.
No, although there is a hypothesis that prion diseases are associated with an undetected viral pathogen.
Immunity.
Vaccines do not destroy pathogens, they give the immune system antibodies so it can destroy a pathogen before it causes an infection. Vaccines do exist for some bacterial infections.
