Positive selection in the cortex is a key event in B cell maturation.
False
Chemokine-guided migration of B cells occurs during lymphocyte maturation.
False
Negative selection in the medulla is a process involved in T cell survival.
False
Selection and elimination occur at checkpoints as key events in B cell maturation.
True
Actions of the Pre-T cell receptor are essential for B cell development in the thymus.
False
Positive selection in the cortex ensures that only B cells with non-functional receptors undergo apoptosis.
False
Chemokine-guided migration of T cells only occurs during negative selection in the medulla.
False
Negative selection in the medulla leads to the elimination of T cells that recognize self-antigens too strongly.
True
T cell survival is promoted by apoptosis.
False
Lymphocyte maturation involves a random series of events that results in a limited range of diverse lymphocytes.
False
Positive selection is a crucial step in the maturation of B cells in the bone marrow.
False
Positive selection promotes survival of lymphocytes with strong interactions with self-antigens.
False
Negative selection eliminates T cells that bind weakly to self-antigens.
False
Clonal deletion occurs during positive selection.
False
Actions of the pre-T cell receptor are involved in B cell maturation.
False
During maturation, immature B cells may initially express two versions of the antigen receptor, one from each chromosome.
True
The pre-BCR promotes allelic exclusion during B cell maturation.
True
T cell maturation involves chemokine-guided migration to the thymus.
False
During B cell maturation, the expression of surrogate light chains continues in mature B cells.
False
One key event in T cell maturation is sequential rearrangement.
True
Positive selection in the cortex is a key event in T cell maturation.
False
Chemokine-guided migration of B cells occurs during lymphocyte maturation.
False
Negative selection in the medulla is a process involved in T cell survival.
True
T cell survival and apoptosis are regulated by the actions of the Pre-B cell receptor.
False
Lymphocyte maturation involves selection and elimination as key events in B cell maturation.
False
Receptor editing in B cells provides a mechanism to modify antigen receptor specificity and avoid autoreactivity.
True
T cell survival with strong reactivity to self-antigens is promoted by negative selection.
False
B cell maturation involves three rounds of sequential rearrangement of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes.
False
Key events in T cell maturation include sequential rearrangement of immunoglobulin genes.
