Cytokines:

Provide information about the type of cell

Provide information about the role of the particular cell (s) in the immune system and indicate if the cell or molecule functions in the innate or adaptive branches of immunity

Describe where the cells or molecules are found, where they developed and differentiated and where they function (lymphoid organs and structures)

Indicate what types of receptors and markers are expressed on the cells.

For molecules (i.e. cytokine group) indicate what cells produce cytokines, the different cytokine families and how cytokines function.

Identify the ligands binding to the receptors and the type of cell signaling that takes place following receptor ligation

Identify the adaptors and transcription factors formed and the products formed

As far as I know and could understand from reading about HIV, Thelper cell is one of the main reasons to develop AIDS in patientsinfected with HIV virus, that because the absence of helper T cellsuppresses the immune system because no T cell cytokines releasedto allow other white blood cells to attack or release antigens.

Q1. Did I understand it correctly?

Q2. Now if my understanding is correct, whydon't scientists find a way to produce T cell cytokines in the lab?and then inject it to patients with HIV? wouldn't that in theoryrevive the immune system and perhaps heal them or at least makethem live longer?
