Which cells suppress T-cell and B-cell activity?

Explanation:
Regulatory T cells, historically known as suppressor T cells, regulate immune responses by dampening the activity of both T and B lymphocytes. They help prevent overactivation and autoimmunity by releasing inhibitory cytokines such as IL-10 and TGF-beta and by engaging in cell-contact–mediated inhibition. Helper T cells stimulate immune responses, cytotoxic T cells kill infected or abnormal cells, and plasma cells produce antibodies; regulatory/suppressor T cells are the ones that specifically suppress the activity of other lymphocytes.
