Figure 2. Comparative milestones in T and B lymphocyte maturation.

Figure 2

(A) T cell development. (B) B cell development. Each lineage is represented with distinguishing markers for corresponding stages, and where cell commitment occurs. Arrows indicate potential points along the development pathway where immune tolerizing interventions might be targeted in neuromyelitis optica/spectrum disorder. CAR = chimeric antigen receptor; CD = class designation marker; CLP = common lymphoid precursor; DN = double-negative thymocyte; DP = double-positive CD4+/CD8+ thymocyte; Ig = immunoglobulin; ImmB = immature B cell; ISP = immature single-positive CD8+ thymocyte; LPreB = large PreB; MatB = mature B cell; PreB = pre-B cell receptor B cell; ProB = progenitor B cell; SP = single positive CD4+ or CD8+ thymocyte; SPreB = small PreB; TcR = T cell receptor; Treg = regulatory T cell.
