| Method |
Primary source [60] abstract: "[Investigators] generated mice that lack the proapoptotic molecule Bim (bcl2l11) together with a Nur77(GFP) transgene, which allowed the identification and enumeration of T cells that would normally undergo clonal deletion." |
| Comments |
P.135 top paragraph: "To formally distinguish between death by neglect and clonal deletion, this study relied on a combination of CD5, CD69,and caspase 3 staining and established that approximately 25% of apoptosis in the thymus occurred due to negative selection [primary source]." |
