So acquired immune deficiency disease is not combatting the immune system?

Kitzmiller v. Dover: Day 12, PM: Michael Behe
The question of the intentions of the designer is a question that is separate from and beyond the question of whether there is design. We can know something that is designed without knowing what the designer intended for it. If I might just give an example from our everyday world, we can look at something like a gun or some such thing, realize immediately that it was designed, and not know what the purpose of it is for. I'm going to say I don't think so.

How do I do a crossmatch for red cells on a dog with Auto Immune Hemolytic Anemia?

Partners | Veterinary FAQ
Crossmatching a dog with AIHA is an extremely difficult situation. The patient’s autoantibody is coating its own red cells. Free autoantibody in the patient’s serum will attach to any red cell encountered. In most cases, a crossmatch is interpreted as inconclusive because the control test (mixture of patient’s serum and patient’s red cells) and all red cell units matched will be positive. No conclusion as to compatibility can be drawn.
