Mayoclinic.com says “AIDS is a chronic‚ potentially life-threatening condition” AIDS is caused by the retrovirus HIV‚ HIV targets T-cells which are vital immune system cells and without them it is nearly impossible to fight a common cold let alone a life threatening disease. AIDS can affect your body in many other ways then just destroying your immune system. Women are mostly affected with other serious

about AIDS and HIV‚ will be protected and is to remain confidential. AIDS is caused by a retrovirus known as HIV‚ which infects and kills the T-cells of the body’s immune system. HIV destroys CD4 cells‚ which is a type of white blood cells that helps the body fight diseases. The more CD4 cells that die‚ the weaker your immune system will be. As the CD4 cells are destroyed by HIV‚ the body will begin to develop other infections that would not normally affect it therefore making those who suffer from

They were finalised after detailed discussion at examiners’ conferences by all the examiners involved in the assessment. The conferences were held shortly after the papers were taken so that reference could be made to the full range of candidates’ responses‚ with photocopied

1. a Reverse transcriptase is a protein brought into the cell by the virus its job is to take the RNA and convert it into DNA to make genetic information that the host cell can read and recreate copies of the RNA virus only in DNA form b. A virus basically consists of a protein capsule with nucleic acid inside which could be made of DNA or RNA (DNA is what we use for genetic material) A retrovirus is different from other viruses because of how they function in replicating its genetic materials

The cells of the adaptive immune system are special types of leukocytes‚ called lymphocytes. There are two main types of lymphocytes‚ B cells and T cells‚ which are derived from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. T cells are involved in cell-mediated immune response‚ whereas B cells are involved in the humoral immune response. The surface of each lymphatic cell has receptors that enable them to recognize foreign substances. There are two major subtypes of T cells: the helper T cell and

Therefore‚ Nef has a crucial role in HIV infection as it is based mainly on the Nef performance to downregulate CD4‚ from the cell surface‚ and major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I)‚ the important surface molecules in T-cell activation (3). In one study they demonstrate that if the cells susceptible to HIV infection‚ the products of accessory gene can change severity of viral infection (4). Rhesus monkey were tested and demonstrated that a Nef gene
