In the immune system, thymus acts as a primary lymphoid organ within which T cells referred to as thymocytes mature. During T cell development in the thymus, immature thymocytes expressing self-reactive TCR (T-Cell Receptor) are eliminated from the developing T-cell repertoire by clonal deletion, or negative selection. This deletion is carried out by Apoptotic signals delivered to thymocytes whose TCR have a high affinity for Self-Antigen/MHC (Majo...
