BACKGROUND: Toll-like receptors contribute to the establishment of adaptive immune
responses. OBJECTIVE: The reported studies were conducted to examine the effects of the
Toll-like receptor (TLR)–7 ligand, resiquimod, on human naive B-cell differentiation.
METHODS: Naive human B cells were cultured with resiquimod in the presence or absence
of IL-2 and IL-10. Secreted IgM and IgG were measured by ELISA, and IL-6, IL-10, and IFN-α
were measured by a multiplex protein array. Cell proliferation was assessed by measuring …
