Question

The decrease in the T-Lymphocytes count in human blood will finally result in

• A. decrease in antigens
• B. decrease in antibodies
• C. increase in antibodies
• D. increase in antigens

Hint:

T-Lymphocytes are essential for adaptive immunity, and their reduction, as seen in HIV, leads to a weakened immune response and lower antibody production.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: T-Lymphocytes (T-cells) are a type of white blood cell critical for the immune response, particularly in helping B-cells produce antibodies.
Step 2: A decrease in T-Lymphocytes, such as in conditions like HIV/AIDS, impairs the immune system’s ability to activate B-cells, leading to reduced antibody production.
Step 3: This does not directly affect antigen levels but reduces the body’s ability to respond to antigens via antibodies.
Thus, a decrease in T-Lymphocytes results in a decrease in antibodies.
