Summary Introduction

To write:

The treatments available for AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), and how does the spread of the virus is impaired.

Introduction:

HIV refers to a virus, which assaults the immune system cells, that is, the body’s natural defense against the illness. The virus leads to the destruction of a kind of white blood cell known helper T cells and creates duplicates of itself within the cells. Due to the destruction of T-helper cells, the immune system of an individual slowly gets weaken.

After HIV infection, AIDS, that is, the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is the later stage. When the immune system contains very minute concentrations of CD4 cells, one cannot defend against the things, which generally do not lead to illness in the majority of individuals.

You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
You implant an FGF10-coated bead into the anterior flank of a chicken embryo, directly below the level of the wing bud. What is the phenotype of the resulting ectopic limb?  Briefly describe the expected expression domains of 1) Shh, 2) Tbx4, and 3) Tbx5 in the resulting ectopic limb bud.
