the fact that the production of thyroid autoantibodies by thyroid-derived mononuclear cells ( which included t suppressor , t helper and b lymphocytes ) could be reduced by the addition of more suppressor t lymphocytes suggests that an antigen-specific defect in the t4+/t8+ thyroid cell balance may account for the in vivo production of these antibodies in patients with hashimoto 's thyroiditis .
