Fields:

Front
When does apoptosis occur in aberrant T cell maturation?
Back
Negative selection in the thymus, which assesses whether or not the T cell binds too avidly to self-Ag.

If it does, FAS ligand is expressed, binds FAS death receptor, apoptosis.

Positive selection, on the other hand, tests to make sure that the T cell can properly bind self-Ag on MHC.

+selection: do you bind?
-selection: do you bind too strongly?
