The immune system is constructed to tolerate self antigens but give vigorous responses to foreign antigens. How this state of self/nonself discrimination is maintained is controversial. In the case of T cells, many self antigens are transported to the thymus via the bloodstream and induce tolerance (clonal deletion) of self-reactive thymocytes in situ.

A CENTRAL ROLE FOR CENTRAL TOLERANCE
Annual Review of Immunology, 2006Recent elucidation of the role of central tolerance in preventing organ-specific autoimmunity has changed our concepts of self/nonself discrimination. This paradigmatic shift is largely attributable to the discovery of promiscuous expression of tissue-restricted self-antigens (TRAs) by medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs).
