Large pre-B cells undergo clonal expansion before the rearrangement of light-chain loci.Which of the following are beneficial consequences of clonal expansion? (Select all that apply.)
A) Autoreactive B cells are eliminated before the expenditure of energy needed to rearrange a functional light-chain gene.
B) The energy used to make a functional heavy chain is not wasted as a result of the inability to produce a functional light chain.
C) RAG gene expression is decreased,which in turn signals light-chain rearrangement.
D) A diverse population of immature B cells is generated that express the same μ chain but a distinct light chain.
E) Approximately 85% of small pre-B cells will progress to the immature B-cell stage.
