The removal of immature B and T cells that respond against self antigens is called clonal

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described in the question is called clonal deletion, which involves the removal of immature B and T cells that would otherwise attack self antigens. This is accomplished through a process of programmed cell death called apoptosis, which eliminates these potentially harmful cells from the developing immune repertoire. The other choices listed (recombination, selection, attenuation, and inactivation) are not directly related to this process.
