None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In previous studies researchers identified a special group of T cells, called suppressor T cells, which can shut down the normal function of other important immune system cells called monocytes and dendritic cells. Normally, monocytes and dendritic cells help trigger immune responses.

Detailed explanation-2: -Regulatory T cells (Treg cells) also have CD4 on their surface, but they do not activate the immune system like helper T cells do. Instead, regulatory T cells play a protective role by shutting off the immune response when it is no longer needed.
