HIV primarily attacks CD4 T cells, which are crucial components of the immune system that help coordinate the body's response to infections. By invading and destroying these cells, HIV weakens the immune system, making the body more susceptible to opportunistic infections and diseases. Over time, this can lead to AIDS, where the immune system is severely compromised.

Why did restriction enzymes evolve?
They are the bacteria's immune system designed to cut up and destroy invading bacteriophage ( Viruses that attack specific bacteria)They recognize specific sequences of DNA found in the virus and cuts them, destroying the virus' capability to survive and reproduce
What does the immune system do for the body?
the immune system protects the body from invading pathogyns
How does diabetes effect the immune system?
by destroying wbc
Can AIDS attack the circulatory system?
AIDS weakens the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections. While AIDS does not directly attack the circulatory system, it can lead to complications like cardiovascular diseases due to increased inflammation and a weakened immune response.
What is an overreaction of the immune system to an invading particle?
That is called an allergy.
Fight invading bacteria by either slowing their multiplication or destroying them.?
Antibiotics.
Where in the body do acids protect us from invading pathogens?
Immune system,
Why is there an initial delay between infection and immune system destroying pathogens?
Your Immune system is usually High, so once it stops smoking that cocaine, it will be better and start destroying them. Its naughty, isnt it?
What is the first part of the immune system to attack an inade?
The first part of the immune system to respond to an invading pathogen is the innate immune system. This includes physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes, as well as immune cells such as macrophages and neutrophils that quickly recognize and attack pathogens. These cells utilize pattern recognition receptors to identify common features of pathogens, leading to a rapid inflammatory response. This initial defense occurs before the more specialized adaptive immune response kicks in.
Why do white blood cells attack your internal organs?
In a healthy person, white blood cells only attack invading germs, and would not attack the person's own internal organs. However, there are autoimmune diseases, which cause the immune system to become confused and to attack the wrong targets.
What type of cell do HIV attack in the immune system?
HIV attacks Acquired Immune system.
What fights invading bacteria by either slowing their multiplication or destroying them?
Our immune system fights invading bacteria through a variety of mechanisms, including phagocytosis by white blood cells, release of antimicrobial chemicals such as cytokines, and production of antibodies to mark bacteria for destruction. These processes help to slow down bacterial multiplication and ultimately eliminate the invading pathogens.
