In which blood corpuscles, the HIV undergoes replication and produces progeny viruses?
Updated On: Jul 13, 2024
- B-lymphocytes
- Basophils
- Eosinophils
TH cells
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) primarily targets and infects T-helper cells (also known as CD4+ T cells), which are a type of immune cell. The virus replicates within these cells and produces progeny viruses, eventually leading to the destruction of the immune system over time.
So, the correct option is (D): TH cells

Questions Asked in NEET exam
- Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : The potential (V) at any axial point, at 2 m distance(r) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector \(\vec{P}\) of magnitude, 4 × 10-6 C m, is ± 9 × 103 V.
(Take \(\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9\times10^9\) SI units)
Reason R : \(V=±\frac{2P}{4\pi \epsilon_0r^2}\), where r is the distance of any axial point, situated at 2 m from the centre of the dipole.
