The HIV virus infects which of the following cells in order to diminish coordinated immune responses against pathogens?
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the loss of tolerance to self antigens leading to the presence of high autoantibody titers. There are several underlying causes behind SLE, one of which is a dysregulation in the clearance of apoptotic cells, which can lead to secondary necrosis. This leads to the leakage of danger signals which contributes to the loss of peripheral tolerance and chronic inflammation.
A deficiency in the clearance of apoptotic cells can be attributed to which immune cell type?
The common precursor for all blood and immune cells, including red blood cells and lymphocytes, is found in what part of the body?
An influenza vaccination administered through injection would be categorized as what type of immunization?
Which type of infection would a plasma cell be most effective in clearing from the human body?
