HIV medications can help lower your viral load, fight infections, and improve your quality of life. But even if you take them, you can still give HIV to others. They're not a cure for HIV.The goals for these medicines are to:Control the growth of the virusImprove how well your immune system worksSlow or stop symptomsCause as few side effects as possibleThe FDA has approved more than two dozen antiretroviral drugs to treat HIV infection. They're often broken into six groups because they work in different ways. Doctors recommend taking a combination or "cocktail" of at least two of them. This is called antiretroviral therapy, or ART.Your doctor will let you know specifically how you should take your medications. You need to follow the directions exactly, and you shouldn't miss even one dose. Or you could develop drug-resistant strains of HIV, and your medication may stop working.Some other medicines and supplements don't mix well with HIV drugs, so make sure you tell your doctor about everything you're taking.Nucleoside/Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTIs)NRTIs force the HIV virus to use faulty versions of building blocks so infected cells can't make more HIV.Abacavir, or ABC (Ziagen)Didanosine, or ddl (Videx)Emtricitabine, or FTC (Emtriva)Lamivudine, or 3TC (Epivir)Stavudine, or d4T (Zerit)Tenofovir, or TDF (Viread)Zidovudine, or AZT or ZDV (Retrovir)Non-nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTIs)These are also called "non-nukes." NNRTIs bind to a specific protein so the HIV virus can't make copies of itself, similar to jamming a zipper.Delavirdine (Rescriptor)Efavirenz (Sustiva)Etravirine (Intelence)Nevirapine (Viramune)Rilpivirine (Edurant)Protease Inhibitors (PIs)These drugs block a protein that infected cells need to put together new copies of the HIV virus.

How does the immune system function?

professor190 [17]

Answer:

Immune system of the body helps in fighting with the infectious agents that are foreign for the body. So the immune system protects us from infection.

When any foreign substance(antigen) comes in the body B-lymphocyte recognize it by binding the antigen through its receptor. After recognizing the antigen, B cell divides into antibody-producing plasma cell and memory cell.

Antibodies produced by plasma cells help in destroying the antigen by getting the antigen recognized by phagocytic cells or by complement activation.

B cells are antigen-presenting cell which present antigen to T cell and then T cell activates and produce chemicals that kill the antigen. Therefore the immune system has many immune cells that activate when an antigen comes in the body. This is how the immune system functions.

thinking about how gene expression affect cellular differentiation , explain why a rabbit looks so much different as an adult co

Kaylis [27]

Ans.

Cell differentiation is defined as a process, by which less specialized cells, such as embryonic cells become more specialized. The process of cell differentiation is regulated by gene expression. Gene expression involves a specific group of genes that are turned on (expressed) or turn off (repressed) and dictates a cell's function.

A fertilized egg represents a single, non-specialized cell that develops into a complex, multicellular organism by cell differentiation. Thus, a adult rabbit looks so much different as compared to a single fertilized cell or zygote, due to cell differentiation, which is regulated by gene expression.
