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?
