A T cell that reduces, or suppresses, the immune response of B cells, or of other T cells, to an antigen.
Wikipedia: regulatory T cell
Regulatory T cells (sometimes known as suppressor T cells) are a specialized subpopulation of T cells that act to suppress activation of the immune system and thereby maintain immune system homeostasis and tolerance to self-antigens. The existence of a dedicated population of supressive T cells was the subject of significant controversy among immunologists for many years. However, recent advances in the molecular characterization of this cell population have firmly established their existence and their critical role in the vertebrate immune system. Interest in regulatory T cells has been heightened by evidence from experimental mouse models demonstrating that the immunosuppressive potential of these cells can be harnessed therapeutically to treat autoimmune diseases and facilitate transplantation tolerance or specifically eliminated to potentiate cancer immunotherapy.

B cells are responsible for the creation of antibodies (and memory B cells).

What are essential for the reproduction of B cells and other types of cells?
Helper T-cells
What is the difference between helper t cells and suppressor t cells?
Suppressor T cells,also known as regulatory T cells, are a Type of T Cell. Their major role is to shut down T cell-mediated immunity toward the end of an immune reaction and to suppress auto-reactive T cells that escaped the process of negative selection in the thymus.
Suppressor T cells A.decrease their activity as antigenic stimulus decreases. B. are the most throughly understood T cells?
Suppressor T cells may function in preventing all autoimmune reactions. Suppressor T cells are also known as regulatory T cells.
What Dampens activity of T and B cells?
Regulatory T-cells
B cells interacting with helper T cells are stimulated to differentiate when?
Helper t cells release cytokines
What are essential for the reproduction of B cells and other types of cells?
Helper T-cells
How many types of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma are there?
There are at least 10 types of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
What is the difference between helper t cells and suppressor t cells?
Suppressor T cells,also known as regulatory T cells, are a Type of T Cell. Their major role is to shut down T cell-mediated immunity toward the end of an immune reaction and to suppress auto-reactive T cells that escaped the process of negative selection in the thymus.
The two types of cell cycle genes if mutated cause cancer cells to divide uncontrollably are called tumor suppressor genes and?
The two types of cell cycle genes that cause cancer cells to divide uncontrollably if mutated are called tumor suppressor genes and antioncogene
The four main types of immune system cells are?
macrophages, killer T cells, helper T cells, and B cells
Suppressor T cells A.decrease their activity as antigenic stimulus decreases. B. are the most throughly understood T cells?
Suppressor T cells may function in preventing all autoimmune reactions. Suppressor T cells are also known as regulatory T cells.
What does T in T cells stand for?
The T in T-cells stands for the thymus gland. Lymphocytes produced in the bone marrow are either become B-cells or they are matured in the thymus gland and are "trained" to be either Natural Killer T-cells, CD4 (Helper T-cells), CD8 (Suppressor T-cells).
What are three types of cells the help fight disease?
Stem cells, T Helper cells, and Lymphocytes all help fight diseases.
Name 3 types of white blood cells?
There are several types of white blood cells (leukocytes.) The 3 main groups are granulocytes, monocytes, and lymphocytes. There are 3 types of granulocytes; neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. There are 2 main types of lymphocytes; B cells and T cells. There are 4 types of T cells; cytotoxic T cells, helper T cells, suppressor T cells, and natural killer cells.
Why are t-cells required in an immune attack?
T-cells are one of two white blood cells (lymphocytes) that are necessary to fight off an invader (virus, bacteria) that doesn't belong in the body. There are different types of T-cells: Helper T-cells, T-cytotoxic cells and T-suppressor cells. T-cells do not make antibodies. The other white cell necessary to fight of that invader are B cells which make antibodies. Both cells are needed for us to fight off the various invaders. It is a very complex but smoothly run "war room".
What Dampens activity of T and B cells?
Regulatory T-cells
What do t cells do?
(t-cells) are involved in cell mediated immunity that can have memory of previous antigens(non self) that have invaded our body. cytotoxic tcells release preforin that destroy tumor cells or antigens helper tcells release cytokines/interlukins that help in more tcell differentiation
