B cell development and maturation -- B cell receptor signalling -- Involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in BCR signaling as a second messenger -- Germinal center reaction -- Memory B cells in local and systemic sites -- Regulation of plasma cell differentiation -- Regulation of humoral immune responses and B cell tolerance by the IgM Fc receptor -- Regulatory B cells -- Diversified IgA-bacteria interaction in gut homeostasis -- Primary antibody deficiencies -- B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases -- B cell lymphomas.

Sommario/riassunto

This book contains twelve chapters contributed by prestigious international experts who are at the forefront of B cell research, and aims to provide a cutting-edge and comprehensive overview of all aspects of B cells, including B cell development, maturation and activation, germinal center reaction, memory and plasma cell differentiation, and antibody-mediated positive and negative regulation of humoral immune responses. There are also three chapters



describing human diseases caused by B cell abnormalities, including primary antibody deficiencies, autoimmune diseases, and B cell malignancies. We hope that this book will become a standard and routine reference for both basic researchers and clinicians.
