Hello group. I wonder if you can answer the first question...
Why is the thymus "not needed" in adulthood? Is that because some T cells become long-lived teachers? Or is that because when T cells proliferate in an infection, their daughter cells automatically acquire knowledge, and are still capable of learning more about other antigens?
Thanks!
Dan
