B-cell Inhibitor (N/A)

A B-cell inhibitor is a molecule, drug, or biological agent that suppresses the function, activation, or survival of B lymphocytes. These inhibitors are used therapeutically to treat a range of diseases where B cells play a pathogenic role, including autoimmune disorders and certain cancers. They act through various mechanisms, including direct depletion of B cells, inhibition of survival signals, blockade of co-stimulatory molecules, and disruption of intracellular signaling.
