Question 5.  Self reactive antibodies are not found in significant concentration in normal serum because
  1.    it is impossible to generate a self-reactive antibody
  2.    self reactive B cells are killed by CD8 T cells
  3.    B cells that are stimulated via their surface bound antibody in the absence of T cell help to commit suicide
