Which immune cell (the B cell, the helper T cell, or the cytotoxic T cell) is targeted by the human immunodeficiency virus? What effect does the loss of the cell you've chosen above have on antibody-mediated and cell-mediated immunity? Describe this effect in detail.

The type of immune cell causing the reaction seen here, where the pathogenic cell is attacked by released perforin, is the a. helper $\mathrm{T}$ cell b. cytotoxic $\mathrm{T}$ cell c. HLA cell d. antigen-presenting cell
Explain in detail the role of helper T cells (TH). NOTE: Without these, there is no Adaptive Immune Response. Think AIDS patients. Discuss in detail the role of cytotoxic T cells (TC). Antibodies are also known by two other names. What are these two names? The Antibody-Mediated Immune Response has three phases: a. Briefly explain the three steps involved in B Cell Maturation. b. The B Cells divide repeatedly and the resulting cells differentiate into Plasma Cells and Memory Cells. What are the functions of these cells? c. Phase two involves Antibodies and their effects. What is serology, serum, antiserum?
