Am I correct?

I am wondering if what I wrote is accurate and correct. It is at
http://home.earthlink.net/~dvmarquez/immuno.htm . I am new to the subject
of immunology, and authoring the web page helps me learn and share. I do
run into contradictions that make the authoring a challenge. For instance,
Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary defines suppresser T cells as those
they exist, while an immunology book says they suppressor T cells may be
myth. I therefore am guessing that they are merely interleukin-10-producing
Helper T cells that stopped "seeing" interleukin-12.
Are there currently any ultra-sensitive chemical processes that instantly
indicate that trace levels of antibodies have encountered antigen? Ideally,
I'd like to make a strip that you can cough on and then it changes color if
you have a certain illness. A chemical avalanche would result upon specific
antigen detection.
Thanks!
