| apoptosis |
Cellular suicide or programmed cell death. HIV may induce apoptosis in both infected and uninfected immune system cells. Normally when CD4 cells mature in the thymus gland, a small proportion of these cells are unable to distinguish self from nonself. Because these cells would otherwise attack the body's own tissues, they receive a biochemical signal from other cells that results in apoptosis. See Tumor Necrosis Factor.
