B cells are an important component of adaptive immunity. They produce and secrete millions of different antibody molecules, each of which recognizes a different (foreign) antigen. The fact that humans express a very large repertoire of antibodies is due to the complex mechanism of V(D)J recombination of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes as well as other ...

Nature Reviews Immunology, 2023
Recent advances in studies of immune memory in mice and humans have reinforced the concept that memory B cells play a critical role in protection against repeated infections, particularly from variant viruses. Hence, insights into the development of high-quality memory B cells that can generate broadly neutralizing antibodies that bind such variants ...

CD5 B cells and B-cell malignancies
Current Opinion in Hematology, 1999Over the past year, progress has been made in understanding of the physiology and disease associations of CD5+ (B1) B cells, although their exact role in pathogenesis remains unclear. Earlier studies on the negative function of CD5 within the B-cell receptor complex have been substantiated, and it seems likely that soon the signaling pathways used by ...

B cells are typically characterized by their ability to produce antibodies, function as secondary antigen-present cells, and produce various immunoregulatory cytokines. The regulatory B (Breg)-cell population is now widely accepted as an important modulatory component of the immune system that suppresses inflammation.

Recent studies have identified CD40 ligand (CD40L) as the critical membrane-expressed molecule responsible for T cell dependent B-cell activation. CD40L co-operates with various cytokines to induce B-cell activation, proliferation, and immunoglobulin isotype switching.

Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 2022
The importance of B cells and their critical role in the maintenance of health through generation of antibody-mediated immune protection is undoubted. However, the differences between the responses of B cells with different surface phenotypes in different microanatomical sites as well as diversity in B-cell function outside antibody production are just

In recent years, our understanding of B-cell biology and the roles of B cells in normal immune responses and autoimmunity has increased dramatically. We no longer think of B cells simply as antibody factories. It is clear that these diverse and exquisitely regulated cells may contribute in a multitude of ways to immune responses.

Mucosal B cells are crucial for host defense. The mucosal surfaces exceed 300 m2 in humans and represent indeed the largest part of the body in which immune responses take place daily. Mucosal B cells, located in the gut, respiratory, and urogenital mucosae as well as in skin, salivary, mammary, and lacrimal glands, are very important to protect ...
