Diversas técnicas de identificación basadas en el olor corporal ya han sido evaluadas por los expertos gubernamentales. La mayoría funcionan poniendo la palma de la mano en un sensor que es capaz de reconocer su singular y complejo rastro tras descomponerlo en un complicado algoritmo.

Main target of HIV [human immunodeficiency virus] are two white blood cells; the lymphocyte and the macrophage. In particular, a subset of lymphocytes called T4 cells are infected; the hallmark of AIDS is a depletion of the T4 population. Unlike T4 cells, the macrophage is not killed by HIV. It may serve as a reservoir for the virus. 2, record 4, English, - target%20cell
