The aids virus affects which type of cells specfically? HIV can enter most cells that have a CD4+ receptor. Obviously the CD4+ cell (which has many CD4+ receptors) is the main target, but HIV can infect other cells with the CD4+ receptor (eg. regulatory T-cells, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells). All of these play a role (some larger, some miniscule) in the process of HIV infection. We are still learning more about HIV and the Immune system as the years progress... your white blood cells and your immune system B CELLS somethin like dat google it Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but the AIDS virus affects the T cells. Actually Hiv attacks the T-cell which if not is controlled or slowed down, can turn into AIDS. So this is a Virus which T cells not B cells CD4+ cells White Blood Cells. WBC's, T-cells to be exact. These are the cells that identify and "tag" a harmful organism for removal by other immune cells. white blood cells white blood cells becasue they are most important in defending the body from infections. without wbc, then you're vulnerable as a mouse about to be eaten by a cat. when you have no wbc, theres no protection,so ur body is free from protection. white blood cells cause they sort of like attach them or distract them while other diseases enter he body the t-cells, thats why with the modern medicine, they try to get the t-cell count up to fight infections, if its to low, you could catch something and die T- cells it basically attacks ur white blood cells , and stops ur immune system from producing new ones , than u run out of then and boom u r out T-Cells. theyre a part of the immune system. White blood cells. Specifically it affects the helper T cells (specifically CD4+ T cells), macrophages and dendritic cells Leukocytes wbc's, also known as your white blood cells, they give your body the ability to heal, and when they can't do their job due to AIDS, it slowly kills you. they gay cells i dont know... so i probably shouldnt be answering but i just had to say this... |
