B-Cell ICAM-1 ICAM-3
30
What do thymic stromal cells produce that are essential to T-cell development?
Notch
31
What is positive selection of T-cells?
T-cells must recognize MHC Class I or MHC Class II molecules (self-restriction) with intermediate affinity
32
What is negative selection of T-cells?
T-cells that recognize self-antigens bound to MHC II are killed (T-cells need to be tolerant to self-antigens)
33
How else are T-Cells selected besides positive and negative selection?
Will only recognize your MHC complexes that are genetically identical to self.

Double Negative Thymocytes
CD4-8-
35
What is T-Cell CD44 required for?
Localization to Thymus
