clonal selection theory
(redirected from Clonal selection)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.04 sec.
clonal selection theory
n.
The theory that the mutation of stem cells produces all possible templates for antibody production and that exposure to a specific antigen selectively stimulates the proliferation of the cell with the appropriate template to form a clone or colony of specific antibody-forming cells.
clonal selection theory
a onetime theory now accepted as an established part of immunological dogma. Each lymphocyte during its development is committed to respond to one antigenic determinant. Accordingly each lymphocyte has a single type of antigen-specific receptor on its surface. Following contact with antigen, a single lymphocyte expands to form a clone of cells.
