Medical Definition of Clonal deletion
1. The removal of B-cell and T-cell varieties which recognise parts of the organisms body as targets of the immune system. This process naturally occurs early in the organisms development so that the organism will not be autoimmune (having an immune reaction against one's own body tissues) later in life. (09 Oct 1997)
