- Use to answer: In 1984, Robert Gallo and Luc Montagnier independently identified what is known today as HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). Worldwide, 17 million people suffer from HIV, which is a virus that attacks human T lymphocytes. The T lymphocytes, a crucial part of the immune system, mature in the thymus. As a result of HIV, B cell lymphocytes also decrease in number . Most HIV patients die because of other diseases like tuberculosis and cancer. Once an infected individual's lymphocytes count reaches less than 200 per cubic millimeter of blood (normal is 500-1100 T cells/mm^ 3 ) , susceptibility to disease increases, and levels below 10 can be fatal. A) How would a decrease in the thymus T cell lymphocytes cause an increase in susceptibility of disease?
