If Teresa found out Thomas's blood healed, why didn't WCKD during all those tests and needles before the maze trials?
In The Maze Runner:The Death Cure, on the night of the WCKD city attack by cranks, Teresa tests a captured Thomas's blood to see if his immunity to the Flare virus could heal...sure enough she found his natural serum didn't just stop the flare...but destroyed it. If Teresa found this this quickly, why didn't WCKD...with all that highly advanced technology...and so many scientists discover this serum in Thomas's blood before the maze trials?
Best Answer
Well the whole point of the mazes is to stimulate the immunes to produce more and stronger enzymes that defeat the flare virus. Before being put in the maze Thomas' enzyme wasn't as active.
Then from when he "escaped" the maze until when Teresa tests him WCKD never had an opportunity to check him, their original plan was to start harvesting from a couple of immunes at a time and his turn hadn't come yet.

Are the Gladers immune to the flare?
The Immunes, commonly known as "Munies", are the very small percentage of the remaining population of the world that are immune to the Flare. It is revealed in The Death Cure that less than 1 percent of the remaining population have immunity to it. The majority of the Gladers are Immunes.Why is Thomas the Cure in Maze Runner?
WCKD put the immunies in dangerous situations. Thanks to these situations,the brain of the immunie begins to produce an enzyme in the blood. The enzyme can the virus slower, but after Thomas was in the Scorch, the enzyme in his blood now has the ability to really CURE the virus.Discovering Thomas is The Cure [The Death Cure]
