Which of the following is not a function of regulatory T cells? Stimulating immune responses is not a function of regulatory T cells; they inhibit immune responses. What is the primary role of regulatory T cells? The primary role of regulatory T cells is to inhibit immune responses and prevent autoimmune reactions. How do regulatory T cells prevent autoimmune reactions? Regulatory T cells prevent autoimmune reactions by inhibiting self-reacting T cells. What subset of T cells do regulatory T cells belong to? Regulatory T cells are a subset of helper T cells. Why is it important for regulatory T cells to stop the immune system from overreacting? It is important to prevent the immune system from attacking healthy cells or responding to harmless substances. What mechanism do regulatory T cells use to inhibit other T cells? Regulatory T cells use peripheral tolerance mechanisms during development to inhibit other T cells. What is still being studied about regulatory T cells? The detailed functions and roles of regulatory T cells are still being researched and revealed. How do regulatory T cells differ from cytotoxic and helper T cells? Unlike cytotoxic and helper T cells that stimulate immune responses, regulatory T cells inhibit them. What do regulatory T cells prevent the immune system from targeting? Regulatory T cells prevent the immune system from targeting normal, healthy cells. What visual representation is used to explain the function of regulatory T cells? A cartoon shows regulatory T cells stopping cytotoxic T cells from attacking normal cells.
