Answer #1

Answer: Negative selection occurs when double positive T cells bind to bone-marrow derived APC (macrophages and dendritic cells) expressing Class I or Class II MHC plus self peptides with a high enough affinity to receive an apoptosis signal, thereby eradicating immature T cell that have a high likelihood of being self-reactive and attacking our own cells.

So, during negative selection MHC class I and II molecules on the surface of thymic epithelial cells Present only peptides derived from self MHC molecule.
