They Fly The Cellular Plane....
a: T4 lymphocyte ~
b: a pilot of immunity
What: The T4 lymphocytes are like the "pilots" of immunity. The T4 cells also govern the quality and quantity of the B-lymphocytes. Thus, with progression of the infection over the years, the patient has defective cell mediated immunity and lymphokine mediated humoral immunity. This is responsible for the increased incidence of opportunistic infections as the patient's immune system deteriorates.
