Abstract:Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a kinase expressed by various immune cells and is often activated under proinflammatory states. Although the majority of BTK-related research has historically focused on B cells, understanding the role of BTK in non-B cell populations is critical given myeloid cells also express BTK at comparable levels. In this study, we investigated and compared how BTK inhibition in human and murine myeloid cells alters cell phenotype and function. All experiments were performed using two BTK… Show more
