Suppressor T-cells function to limit the actions of general and specific responses.These cells prevent overreactions to the presence of "foreign proteins" within a person's environment.People who are deficient in suppressor T-cell activity have more severe hypersensitivity reactions,allergies,and autoimmune responses.Low numbers of T-suppressor lymphocytes would not increase the client's risk for multiple sclerosis (MS),leukemia,or graft-versus-host disease.
