In Clonal Selection, Cells That Have Not Interacted with an Antigen

Question

In clonal selection, cells that have not interacted with an antigen do not proliferate.

Accepted Answer

In clonal selection, only cells that have interacted with an antigen undergo proliferation and differentiation, resulting in a population of specialized effector cells that recognize and attack the specific antigen. Therefore, cells that have not interacted with an antigen do not proliferate.
