Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- with HIV, explain the mechanism of intracellular infection and the role of reverse transcriptase. What would you explain about the process? What is the significance of the CD4+ count? ( Discuss the meaning of various ranges of CD4 counts.) List 5 opportunistic infections AND describe data to suggest whether or not a patient has such an infection.What specific type of lymphocyte does HIV infect? Why?The ______ phase of HIV infection is asymptomatic. This is the phase in which HIV replication establishes a steady state and virus levels in plasma reach a "set point".
- If a patient was nonadherent to HIV drugs, in this case, what does nonadherent mean?Explain HIV is so difficult to treat. Why antiviral medication is a cocktail/mixture of different antiviral medications and how might they work to fight off the infection?What is the action mechanism of the antiretroviral drugs called protease inhibitors which are used against HIV infection?
- What is the role of gp120 in HIV infection?and Chector functions of adaptive immune cells. Diagram or describe the replication cycle of HIV-1. Indicate all the steps/stages that can NOT be targeted by antiretroviral therapy and explain whyGiven what we know about HIV, describe the impact of this virus on humoral and cellular immunity. [hint - HIV targets CD4 cells; how will this impact an immune response]
