T-suppressor cells: T cells that express the CD8 transmembrane glycoprotein (CD8+ T cells). They close down the immune response after invading organisms are destroyed. Suppressor T cells are sensitive to high concentrations of circulating lymphokine hormones, and release their own lymphokines after an immune response has achieved its goal. This signals all other immune-system participants to cease their attack. Some memory B-cells remain after this signal to ward off a repeat attack by the invading organism. Also known as T-8 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).
Control the immune response by shutting down the production of antibodies in antibody immunity and the production of killer t cells in cell mediated immunity?
suppressor
What does the t cells and b cells do?
B cells stand for Bursa of Fabricus and T cells stand for T-lyphocytes.
Are cytotoxic T cells a type of T cell clone?
Yes, cytotoxic T-cells are a subset of T-cells that in contrast to helpter T-cells express CD8.
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.
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
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.
Can suppressor T cells function in preventing autoimmune responses?
yes.
T-cell lymphocytes that inhibit the activity of B cell lymphocytes?
suppressor T-cells
Helper or suppressor cells are types of?
A T cell that reduces, or suppresses, the immune response of B cells, or of other T cells, to an antigen.Wikipedia: regulatory T cellRegulatory 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.
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 control the immune system by shutting down the production of antibodies in antibody?
suppressor T cells
What cells suppress the immune response in order to prevent over activity?
Suppressor T cell
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".
How many types of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma are there?
There are at least 10 types of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
Control the immune response by shutting down the production of antibodies in antibody immunity and the production of killer t cells in cell mediated immunity?
suppressor
