Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Human immune virus (HIV) specifically targets and destroys the T-cells and causes AIDS. The HIV attaches specifically through the CD4 receptors present on the T-cells, and gains the entry into cells, where it replicates and stays as a latent virus. It gets integrated with the cell’s genome and it is passed to all the daughter cells.

- Which of the following is the most likely explanation for an individual who lacks CCR5 as a result of a homozygous defect in the CCR5 gene becoming infected with HIV? a. The mutated CCR5 genes reverted to the normal form, rendering macrophages susceptible to macrophagetropic HIV variants. b. The macrophage-tropic HIV variant entered host cells using CD4 alone. c. The viral nucleic acid alone was taken up by cells, as in cell transformation by bacterial DNA. d. The individual had received a transplant of HIV-infected cells expressing normal CCR5. e. The primary infection involved a lymphocyte-tropic strain of HIV that used CXCR4 as its co-receptor.arrow_forward95) The herpesviruses: a. Can have an abortive infection b.

A Anti-retroviral therapy consists of transfusions of CD4 cells. B Anti-retroviral therapy directly stimulates cell division of CD4 cells, so their numbers increase. C Anti-retroviral therapy will prevent HIV from replicating and killing your CD4s. CD4s can grow back to some degree.arrow_forwardWhy is counselling required before an HIV test can be done on a patient? We don't counsel patients when we look for a tumour marker to diagnose cancer, which is often more serious for a patient.arrow_forward
