Some immune system cells like B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes must first be "trained" in either the bone marrow or thymus because they can do their jobs. Which of the following best describes the purpose of this "training" during their maturation?
Some immune system cells like B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes must first be "trained" in either the bone marrow or thymus because they can do their jobs. Which of the following best describes the purpose of this "training" during their maturation?
-
to selectively remove any lymphocytes that show immunity against our own cells and our own antigens in our body
-
to expose these cells to all of the potential pathogens and their antigens they may encounter in the future
-
to activate them so that they differentiate into plasma and memory cells and begin producing antibodies
-
to make sure that each lymphocyte is capable of recognizing a large number of different pathogen antigens
-
to initiate a secondary and stronger immune response after encountering an invading pathogen
