Chapter 0, Problem 24-10(choose chapter or problem)
At first glance, it would seem a dangerous strategy for the thymus to actively promote the survival, maturation, and emigration of developing T cells that bind weakly to self peptides bound to self MHC molecules. Would it not be safer to get rid of these T cells, along with those that bind strongly to such self-peptideMHC complexes, as this would seem a more secure way to avoid autoimmune reactions?
