What cells remove debris from the CNS?
Microglial cells are the primary cells responsible for removing debris from the CNS. These cells act as the resident immune cells of the CNS and are constantly surveying the brain for any abnormal or harmful substances. Upon detection, microglia engulf and remove the debris through a process called phagocytosis.
What human cell is attacked by HIV?
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) seems to only infect the CD4 (or T-helper) cells of the immune system. The CD4 cells are responsible for activating and directing other immune system cells. HIV also infects macrophages and microglial cells that express the CD4 molecule on their surface. The virus can also infect a subtype of myeloid dendritic cells MDC-1.
