Question

How does the destruction of T cells interfere with the body’s ability to fight disease?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

T cells are arguably the most important cells in  immunity, as they are required for immune responses. They not only help activate B cells to secrete antibodies and macrophages to destroy ingested microbes, but they also help activate cytotoxic T cells to kill infected target cells. As dramatically demonstrated in AIDS patients, without helper T cells we cannot defend ourselves even against many microbes that are normally harmless.
