QUESTION 16 Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) invades which type of T cell?
Cytotoxic T cells Helper T cells Regulatory T cells Memory T cells
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is caused by the virus HIV(human immunodeficiency virus).
HIV infects white blood cells in the body's immune system called T-helper cells.
The virus attach and fuses itself to the T-helper cell and changes its genetic material .so it can enter the nucleus of the T-helper cell and take control of its DNA. Replicate the virus genome inside the T helper cell . Such infected T-helper cells produces more HIV proteins and then release more number of HIV particles into the blood. This is how the virus multiplies in the body and hence it is called the HIV lifecycle.
What are T cells and their different types?
T cells are a type of white blood cells (WBC) and central regulators of immune response. they mature inside thymus gland (hence the name) and differentiate into various types namely cytotoxic T cells, helper T cells, regulatory T cells and memory T cells.
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL or Tc cells)- they are part of cell mediated immunity and perform killing effects. They usually target virus or bacterial infected cells or cancerous cells
Helper T cells (Th cells)- they secrete low molecular weight cytokine proteins . They activate B cells (to produce antibodies), macrophages and Tc cells. They have many subsets such as Th1, Th2, Th17, Tfh (follicular helper cell)
Regulatory T cells (T regs)- specialized subpopulation of T cells that act to suppress immune response thereby maintaining homeostasis and self-tolerance. Hence also called as suppressor T cells.
Memory T cells- they are the subsets of both antigen specific Tc and Th cells which are once exposed to antigen, thus remains for long term as a memory even after the infection is treated. They convert into effector cells when the particular infection attacks again.

Helper T cell numbers are lowered in individuals with AIDS. Which of the following are functions of these helper T cells that may contribute to the symptoms from AIDS? a. activation of neutrophils b. activation of B cells to make antibodies c. increased bone marrow production of lymphocytes d. both activation of B cells to make antibodies and activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes e. activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes Which of the following is NOT part of the digestive system?...
In the case of a helper cell, it can differentiate into T cells which will activate cells T helper 1 T-cell activation begins when an antigen to a CD4 or CD8 T cell. delivers phagocytic CD4 In contrast, T-cell activation requires the action of cells in order to differentiate into memory CD8 cells and activated CD8 cells. perforins Activated CD8 cells will mount a direct attack on target cells through the action of which punch holes in membranes, and which...
