Naive T cell

A naive T cell (Th0 cell) is a T cell that has differentiated in the thymus, and successfully undergone the positive and negative processes of central selection in the thymus. Among these are the naive forms of helper T cells (CD4+) and cytotoxic T cells (CD8+). A naive T cell is considered immature and, unlike activated or memory T cells, has not encountered its cognate antigen within the periphery.
