Abstract
Two novel methods were developed to stimulate B cells in rat whole blood, that have the potential to be used to support drug discovery efforts in the therapeutic targeting of B cells. Furthermore, we pharmacologically validated these whole blood assays using highly selective inhibitors of BTK, SYK, and PI3Kδ, signaling kinases which are downstream of the B cell receptor.
