Abstract
The humoral immune response, that is, the production of antibodies by B cells, is a critical component of immunity to infection and underlies the protection provided by the majority of successful vaccines. This Special Feature explores some of the latest advances in understanding B cell activation and differentiation, as well as how these processes can go wrong in disease.
