Indicate the correct sequence of events in the maturation of B and T lymphocytes.
1) Immature T cells in thymus and immature B cells in bone marrow undergo rapid mitosis under the influence of specific cytokines
2) Segments of genes that produce lymphocyte receptors are spliced and rearranged to produce almost 1018 different receptors.
3) Cells failing to produce a functional receptor are eliminated via apoptosis
4) Antigen receptors on immature T and B cells are screened during positive selection so that only useful receptors are generated.
5) After passing positive selection, T and B cells complete maturation process and start their patrol of the body for the presence of pathogens.
A) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
