Suppressor T cell. Definition. noun. A type of T cell that expresses CD8 transmembrane glycoprotein, and functions by inhibiting, suppressing, or helping to stop an immune response by releasing signals to other immune cells. Supplement. Examples of suppressor T cells are suppressor macrophages.
Another kind of T cell, the T-suppressor cell (or T8 cell), will send out messages to the other cells and de-activate them (Figure 11). Without the T-suppressor cells, the body would continue trying to fight off a disease that no longer exists (and eventually would end up fighting its own cells).
