AIDS is caused by HIV that principally infects:
AIDS is caused by HIV that principally infects:
Updated On: May 1, 2024
- all lymphocytes
- activator B cells
- T4 lymphocytes
- cytotoxic T cells
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
HIV primarily targets and infects CD4+ T cells (also known as T4 lymphocytes), which are a type of white blood cell important for the immune system's functioning. As HIV infects and destroys CD4+ T cells, it weakens the immune system, making the individual susceptible to various opportunistic infections and illnesses, leading to the development of AIDS when the immune system is severely compromised.
So, the correct option is (C): T4 lymphocytes

A. Sporozoite enters the hepatocytes and divides by schizogony leading to formation of cryptomerozoites
B. Inside RBCs, the micro-metacryptozoites become rounded and modify into a young trophozoites.
C. As the trophozoite grows in size, a central vacuole is developed so that the nucleus is pushed to one side into the peripheral cytoplasm, leading to amoeboid stage.
D. In Amoeboid stage the small red eosinophils granules appear in the cytoplasm of the host corpulses as Schuffner's granules}
