Which of the following is true of receptor editing of the T-cell receptor? It occurs at the $\beta$-chain locus. It occurs to eradicate reactivity with self antigens. It occurs to ensure reactivity with self-MHC molecules. It occurs in secondary lymphoid organs.

This process occurs in the bone marrow, which is a primary lymphoid organ. Receptor editing involves the rearrangement of the light chain genes of the B cell receptor. The question asks about receptor editing of the T-cell receptor. T-cell receptor editing is not Show more…

Compare and contrast the receptor editing in B cells and T cells. Be sure to include the location of where it happens, what process is taking place and what it achieves. Also be sure to include what part of the receptor is edited and the enzymes that are necessary for the editing to occur.

Predict how self-reactive $\mathrm{B}$ cells are identified and eliminated during maturation.
Which of the following is true about the role of B cells in immunological tolerance? Multiple Choice A.) The deletion of self-reactive B cells takes place in primary lymphoid tissue. B.) B cells recognize self antigens in conjunction with MHC molecules in these processes. C.) Immunologic tolerance is often maintained only within the T-cell population, sustaining tolerance because it denies the help essential for antibody production by self-reactive B cells. D.) For those self antigens present at relatively low concentrations, immunologic tolerance is often maintained only within the B-cell population.
