Short answers (25 points total) 1. Differentiated CD4+ and CD8+ cells leave the thymus and enter the circulation. Using mice as an example, diagram, listing all players, to explain positive and negative selection in the thymus resulting in CD4+ and CD8+ cells. (5 points) 2. Diagram and explain the co-stimulatory signal members on APC’s and T helper cells that are required for T helper cell activation. What happens if the co-stimulatory signal is absent? (3 points) 6 3.
