Question
There are people, referred to as “elite controllers,” who become infected with HIV and yet, many years later, still have not progressed to AIDS. These people seem to be able to resist the disease because ________.1 pointthey have an MHC I variant highly effective in displaying HIV antigenstheir TH cells mount an especially aggressive attack against all virusestheir MHC region has TNF variants that target retroviruses with great accuracythey do not have surface molecules that allow HIV to attach and enter the celltheir macrophage are unusually active in phagocytizing and presenting HIV peptides
Solution
Elite controllers are able to resist the progression of HIV to AIDS because they have an MHC I variant highly effective in displaying HIV antigens. This means that their immune system is better able to recognize and respond to the HIV virus, preventing it from causing further damage.
