by study says Boston a the aids virus wrecks the immune system by blinding sentry cells in the blood so they cannot recognize protein labels that ordinarily signal the presence of germs in the a new study the aids virus attacks and eventually destroys White blood cells called Helper t these cells orchestrate the immune and among their important jobs is spotting hostile invaders and sounding an Long before these Helper cells Are wiped they Stop the study somehow the virus destroys the ability of the Helper cells to recognize and respond to Antigens Are microbes name tags proteins that Brand germs As recognizing these Antigens is the first step in triggering the body defensive without this internal the immune system cant see so it Doest destroy when aids victims cannot Ward off they fall prey to Odd diseases caused by microbes that almost never bother healthy i think this May explain Why the whole immune system said Clifford who directed the study at the National institutes of his conducted on blood samples taken from 12 aids was published in thursdays new England journal of until some experts theorized that the Helper cells were ineffective solely because their numbers had been Cut Down by the the new work shows that these infected cells Are still capable of carrying out some of their Only their crucial task of recognizing germs appears to be its sort of like having a heart that cant Lane the heart tissue May be but if its not its having an immune system that cant recognize a foreign protein is a useless immune Lane said the finding does not open up any new prospects for treating or preventing but it May provide a Way to predict whats Likely to happen to people who Are infected with the aids Many infected people Are still some of them have Helper cells that respond to while others do further research will examine whether those whose Helper cells dont respond Are More Likely than others to get this function of Helper cells will also be monitored in aids the goal is to see whether experimental treatments Are Able to restore the cells response to after spotting microbes by recognizing their healthy Helper cells carry out a variety of other they
