Is there B cell involvement in a rat model of spontaneous idiopathic nephrotic syndrome treated with LF15-0195?
CONCLUSION: Despite LF15-0195 acting on B cells, the beneficial effects of this drug on nephrotic syndrome did not involve the induction of regulatory B cells. Moreover, the B cell depletion was not effective in reducing proteinuria, indicating that B cells are not a therapeutic target.
