What would you predict would be a long-term systemic effect of an immune deficiency disease that drastically reduces the number
of T-cells in the body? Increased susceptibility to infection
Increased number of memory B cells
Increased cytotoxic T-cell counts
Increased nonspecific immune responses
The immune system of the body is made of a variety of cells. The cells producing antibodies "remembers" the infection caused inside the body and helps in providing immunity against it for a very longer duration of time..
The T-cells of the immune system remembers the viruses and contains a number of phagocytotic cells which helps in proving immunity. T- cells also activates B-cells.
So, if the Number of T-cells drastically reduces in number, then the body will be more susceptible to infection.
The most appropiate unit of measurement fro most types of cells is CD4 counts are measured in cells per cubic millimetre = cells/mm3. A cubic millimetre (mm3) = mm3 = 1 mm x 1 mm x 1 mm.
