CB2 receptors accounted for the CP 55,940-increased B-cell proliferation. The CB1 receptor antagonist SR 141716 (▪) and the CB2 receptor antagonist SR 144528 (•) were preincubated at indicated concentrations for 30 minutes with purified tonsillar B cells before the addition of 10 nmol/L CP 55,940. B cells were induced to proliferate for 72 hours after ligation of CD40 antigen. Data are expressed taking as 100% the difference between [3H] thymidine uptakes (which corresponded to 15,200 cpm) into B cells activated with CD40 MoAbs with and without 10 nmol/L CP 55,940. *P ≤ .05.
