NCIt definition : Lymphocyte Suppression involves interference with, or restraint of, the production
and activity of lymphocytes. Formed in lymphoid tissue, lymphocytes are white blood

cell-mediated immunity, while B-lymphocytes produce antibodies that provide humoral
immunity. Suppression decreases the ability of lymphocytes to mount an immune response
to invading substances.;
