Biology:Suppressor-inducer T cell

From HandWiki

Suppressor-inducer T cells are a specific subset of CD4+ T helper cells that "induce" CD8+ cytotoxic T cells to become "suppressor" cells.[1] Suppressor T cells are also known as CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (nTregs), and reduce inflammation.[2][3]
