24
Q

What is the first step in T cell maturation in the thymus?

A

25
Q

What is the second step in T cell maturation in the thymus?

A

Somatic recombination

26
Q

What is the overview of T cell maturation?

A

Somatic recombination
Positive selection
Negative selection

27
Q

What is the first chain of the TCR to begin adapting to maturation signals?

A

Beta chain genes

28
Q

What happens in T cell maturation after AB chain recombination?

A

Expression of CD3, then CD4 aaaand CD8

29
Q

When CD4/8 is produced on T cells, what occurs?

A

Positive selection of MHC I/II in the cortex

30
Q

What is downregulated as the T cell moves into the medullary region?

A

The unused CD4/8

31
Q

What is destroyed in the medullary region?

A

Self recognizing T cells

32
Q

How does a T cell become a yD TCR?

A

If y or D are expressed first

33
Q

How does a T cell become a AB TCR?

A
  1. B chain expressed
  2. Invariant chain (pTalpha) transcribed and binds
  3. Pre-T cell receptor combines with the CD3 complex
  4. AB TCR rearrangement (full A chain made)
  5. CD4/8 production
  6. CD4/8 selection
  7. Migration to 2* lymph
