suppressor cells

suppressor cells
suppressor T cells differentiated T lymphocytes of the CD8 cells group that suppress antibody synthesis or cell-mediated immunity. They may be activated in response to antigen or to idiotypic determinants present on antibodies and T and B cell antigen receptors and may act either by suppressing activity of helper cells or by inhibiting the differentiation of activated lymphocytes into effector cells. Murine suppressor cells are marked by the Ly-2 and Ly-3 antigens, human suppressor cells by the CD5 and CD8 antigens. Cf. contrasuppressor c's.
