A new report seems to include some very important information on "AIDS"-like conditions:
QUOTE: ...The study also showed that different T cell functions required different numbers of functional ITAMs. "We were surprised to find that many ITAMs were required to make T cells divide and expand, but only one or two was required to make T cells secrete cytokines," Vignali said... UNQUOTE.
Thus, if certain amounts kinds/amounts of stress occurs, one would likely see a drop in T cell levels and a rise in cytokines, which is what one sees in "AIDS." What are "ITAMS?"
QUOTE: ...T cell receptors need many copies of switch-like components called immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMS). ITAMs are components of the CD3 adaptor proteins that attach to the T cell receptor and help transmit the control signals from the T cell receptor into the cell... UNQUOTE.
