Samantha tells her doctor that she has been feeling jittery and has had trouble falling asleep. She complains that her roommates always set the thermostat too high. Blood tests reveal antibodies that suggest an autoimmune disease. Explain Samantha’s symptoms. What organ are theantibodies binding to and how does this cause her symptoms?
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) preferentially destroys CD4+ cells. Specifically, what effect does this have on antibody and cell-mediated immunity?
Please simple and original response. Thank you (:
