  6. EVENTS OF T CELL DIFFERENTIATION IN THE THYMUS Pro-T IL-7-dependent proliferation Early pre-T Pre-Tα-chain Lck signal β rearrangement unsuccesful β-chain γδT-cell No selection Late pre-T CD4+CD8+ α rearrangement CD4+CD8+ γδT-cell No selection unsuccesful α-chain no positive selection negative selection αβCD4+ αβCD8+ • Generation of NK cells • – no TCR • 2. Differentiation of γδ and αβ TCR carrying T cells • 3. Selection of αβ TCR • – positive selection • – negative selection • 4. Differentiation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cell lineages

  7. SELECTION OF T LYMPHOCYTES IN THE THYMUS AICD – Activation Induced Apoptosis PERIPHERAL TOLERANCE UNDER THE CAPSULE • The primary T cell pool is biased to MHC-specificity (V genes) 1-2% for one allotype • Focusing the T cell pool to self MHC recognition (+) • Elimination of useless and self agressive clones (-) • CENTRAL TOLERANCE • Focusing the T cell repertoire for recognition of non self • CD4+ and CD8+ T cell use the same TCR repertoire • Individualized T cell repertoire available in the periphery • CD4 and CD8 co-stimulatory molecules are involved in positive selection IL-7-dependent proliferation CORTEX CD4-CD8- DN β+preTα TCRαβ CD4+CD8+ DP TCR(-) sMHC+sPsMHC+fPfMHC+fP selection CORTEX/ MEDULLA   NO  – selection MEDULLA – AICD αβTCR αβTCR CD4+CD8+

  8. POSITIVE SELECTION OF DOUBLE POSITIVE (DP) T CELLS ALSO DIRECTS CD4 AND CD8 SINGLE POSITIVE (SP) T CELL COMMITMENT CD4+CD8+ CD4+CD8+ Thymic epithelial cell MHC-I + peptide complexes recruit CD8 MHC-II + peptide complexes recruit CD4 POSITIVE SELECTION FOR 3 – 4 DAYS, SUCCESSIVE α-GENE REARRANGEMENTS BARE LYMPHOCYTE SYNDROME (BLS) Lack of MHC class I – no CD8+ cells Lack of MHC class II – no CD4+ cells

  10. SELECTION OF THE T CELL REPERTOIRE – CENTRAL TOLERANCE POSITIVE SELECTION – Thymic education (no instruction for specificity) Low avidity interaction of MHC - self peptide - TCR Thymic epithelial cells Self peptide composition and concentration (foreign peptides are not present) Low peptide dose induces positive selection – special ligands 80-90% of DN (CD4-CD8-) T cells is NOT positively selected PASSIVE CELL DEATH BY NEGLECTION NEGATIVE SELECTION – Central self tolerance High avidity of MHC - self peptide - TCR interaction Ubiquitous and abundant self antigens are present in the thymus High peptide dose induces negative selection Any thymic antigen presenting cell: epithelial cells, bone marrow-derived macrophages, dendritic cells THE GENERATION OF SELF MHC + FOREIGN PEPTIDE SPECIFIC T CELLS REQUIRES WEAK INTERACTION WITH SELF MHC + SELF PEPTIDE SELF RESTRICTED AND TOLERANT PERIPHERAL T CELL REPERTOIRE PHYSIOLOGICAL TRESHOLD NOT COMPLETE

  11. HOMEOSTASIS OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SELECTION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AVAILABLE T LYMPHOCYTE REPERTOIRE Ratio of positive selection Homozygote Heterozygote Ratio of negative selection increases with the number of MHC genes Number of MHC molecules
