Description
To create and maintain immune diversity, a vast number of cells each capable of recognizing a single, specific antigen are generated; each specific cell is known as a clone. When an antigen is encountered, the specific cell for that antigen replicates to create a pool of identical cells to respond this is called clonal selection. Clonal selection is shown here for B cells, but the concept equally applies to T cells.
