1.	Which of the following is the main target of HIV?(a) Helper T cells(b) Autoantibodies(c) Cytotoxic T cells(d) B lymphocytesThe question was asked in examination.The query is from Immune Response in chapter Immune Response of Cell Biology
Answer» The correct answer is (a) Helper T cells Easiest explanation: Helper T cells (TH) play an important role in the attack against specific antigens. The HIV ATTACKS helper T cells which are necessary for the DIFFERENTIATION of B cells into antibody secreting plasma cells. When the count of TH cells in the body DROPS below 200 cells/μl the body becomes prone to infections.
