Role of the thymus in T cell development

• Required for T cell development– Neonatal thymectomy– Nude mice

• Shapes T cell repertoire– Transplant experiments

What are thymocytes doing?

• MigratingMigrating

• Contacting stromal cells

• Changing phenotype

• Expressing TCRs

• Undergoing selection

• Based on specificity of TCR• Produces “central tolerance” to self antigens• Produces T cell repertoire biased toward self

MHC + peptide specificities• Consists of 3 levels of selection

– Positive Selection– Negative Selection– Death by neglect
