infects CD4 T cells, which are a type of
white blood cell that plays an important role in regulating the immune response.
In most cases,
infected epithelial cells are quickly killed by CD8 + cells, a type of
white blood cells; only occasionally does the infection overwhelm the immune system, resulting in a lesion.

Note: Histamines work with prostaglandins and are created by Basophils, a leukocyte or
white blood cell, and histamines increase the permeability of
blood cells to allow the
white blood cells to move to the
infected or injured tissues.

infected cell is eliminated by
white blood cells.
