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.

Clinical studies have also demonstrated that COLD-fX consumption is not associated with overstimulation of the immune system. There are no known interactions of COLD-fX with other medications.

What Role Might the Immune System Play?

Multiple Sclerosis FAQ
The most commonly accepted theory about Multiple Sclerosis is that it is an auto-immune response. That is, that somehow the body's immune system, instead of fighting a foreign infection, directs the "attack" against the central nervous system (CNS). The "target" of the attack (the antigen that the immune system locks onto) has not been identified. Research continues on the possibility of stopping this abnormal response without interfering with normal immune cells.

What do hormones have to do with the immune system?

A&W/SF: FAQ on Kremer and AIDS
DHEA and cortisol are adrenal hormones. Cortisol is produced under stress in order to relieve inflammation. Cortisol correlates with Type-II cytokines, while DHEA correlates with Type-I cytokines. Too much cortisol is called hypercortisolism, and goes hand-in-hand with the “HIV+” state. This is well documented, as well is the fact that pharmaceutical steroid hormones (prednisone, body-builder “juice”, etc.) can also cause similar immune suppression.
