B-lymphocytes produce antibodies, mediate humoral responses, and act as a key to the adaptive immune system of our body. The development and function of B cells are largely dependent on B cell antigen receptors (BCRs), which transmit a multitude of signals upon binding to the cognate antigen and activate the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of B cells thereof. Thus, studying the BCR signaling remains fascinating for both basic and translational research. This volume provides a collection of protocols ranging from classical cell and molecular biology applications to state-of-the-art omics techniques for studying BCR signaling. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters detail the strengths, weaknesses, and troubleshooting techniques that we hope will be helpful to researchers.

Cutting-edge and thorough, B-Cell Receptor Signaling: Methods and Protocols will inspire immunologists in designing new experiments to explore the classics from a different perspective, as well as ask some stunning biological questions of our time.
