double negative
double neg thymocytes do not express ___
receptors
double negative thymocytes proliferate under what Interlukin
7
TCRs are functional when they become ___ ___ and express __ and ___
double positive, CD4 and CD8
TCR receptors can identify lots of ___ receptors
epitope
when T cell receptors are functional, they express the co____ ____
stimulatory receptors
once thymocytes become double positive, they can ___ to express one of the two CDs
differentiate
cortical cells present ___ and ___
MHC 1 MHC 2
cortical thymic epithelial cells are unique because they present what
MHC 1 and 2
cortical cells interacting with thymocyte, if it recognizes one MHC stronger than the other this will cause the cell to commit to a cell type.
if it doesn’t recognize MHC 1 or 2, the cell will undergo ___
apoptosis.
MHC 1 and MHC 2 help trigger a ___ to be made
complex
the x2 positive thymocytes the cell lines stop expressing the other CD molecule once they interact with this cell ___ with either MHC 1 or MHC 2.
lymphocyte
when the cells select for MHC recognition is called ___ selection
positive selection
