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.

False

Lymphocyte maturation ensures the generation of dysfunctional B cells incapable of recognizing antigens.

False

Positive selection in the cortex is a key event in T cell maturation.

True

Chemokine-guided migration of T cells occurs during positive selection in the medulla.

False

Negative selection in the medulla is a process involved in promoting T cell survival.

False

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

Selection and elimination occur at checkpoints as key events in T cell maturation.

True

Actions of the Pre-B cell receptor are essential for T cell development in the thymus.

False

Key events in T cell maturation involve changes in surface marker expression.

True

Actions of the Pre-T cell receptor take place during B cell development in the thymus.

False

T cell development in the thymus involves rearrangement of antigen receptor genes in a stepwise manner.

True

Learn about the transition from pre-T cell to double-positive thymocytes, beta-selection checkpoint, positive selection, and the role of pre-TCR in T cell development.
