Exploring Clonal Selection and Expansion of T Lymphocytes
Clonal selection and expansion are fundamental processes that enable the immune system to mount a targeted response against specific pathogens, beginning with the differentiation of stem cells into T lymphocytes with unique receptors. When a pathogen introduces antigens, T cell clones with matching receptors are selected and proliferate to amplify the immune reaction, ensuring effective defense. This detailed illustration provides a clear depiction of how this dynamic process shapes the adaptive immune response.
