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.
Adaptive immune response against foreign proteins requires the activation of Ag-specific T cells. Help from T cells contributes to B cell activation and differentiation into antibody secreting plasma cells. T cell help is mediated by both soluble and membrane-bound molecules (Parker, 1993).In addition, T cell-derived cytokines can also promote or potentiate effector functions of other immune cells, such as macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), and natural killer (NK) cells.he development and the role of distinct phenotypic effector T cells and regulatory T cells generated during immune response will be summarized. Afterward, in the second part of this section (section 2.2) neurotransmitter receptors expressed on immune cells will be described.
