Term
positive selection of lymphocytes
Definition

-lymphocytes that survive

-bind weakly to self-antigens

Term
negative selsction of lymphocytes
Definition

-lymphocytes that are eliminated

-bind strongly with self-antigen

-don't recieve any receptor/ligand interaction

Term
B cell development sequence of events
Definition

-hematopoietic stem cell

-becomes B cell

-B cell precursor experiences somatic recombination

-expresses membrane bound Ig

-membrane bound receptors are tested

-cell becomes mature naive

-becomes activated by interaction with antigen

-activated B cell becomes plasma cell

Term

Definition

-early pro-B cell

-late pro-B cell

-large Pre-B cell
