31. Perhaps viruses infiltrate beta cells, and the immune system mops them up as it does other infected cells. 32. Recent research has shown that latently infected immune cells die once they have been induced to produce more virus. 33. Scientists hoped that if HIV were paralyzed long enough, the body might purge every infected cell. 34. Rose said he planned to introduce the surface proteins from these other targets into VSV, creating viruses that could root out several types of infected cell. 35. Such a vaccine would have to generate killer T-cells, immune system warriors that recognize and destroy infected human cells. 36. The first is syncytia, in which infected cells tend to fuse together into cells with many nuclei. 37. The existence of shortened telomeres in infected cells reveal premature aging, Effros said. 38. The naturally occurring immune cells efficiently target infected cells but are quickly lost during the early stages of HIV infection, the company said. 39. The naturally occurring HIV-targeting immune cells efficiently target infected cells but are quickly lost during the early stages of HIV infection, the company said. 40. They are used by white blood cells as part of a two-pronged recognition of infected cells. |
