Q

HIV viral attachment and entry?

A

viral glycoprot gp120 binds CD4+ receptor
-interaction with chemokine receptor (co-receptor, eitehr CCR-5 of CXCR-4) exposes viral gp41(which can penetrate host memb bc lipophilic), membranes fuse and release viral contents into cyto

37
Q

How do you measure “cellularity” of patient? (eg in bone marrow histology(?)

Normal cellularity is 100 minus age of patient

So cellularity decreases, and fat increases, as u get older
