An immune response based on directed amplification of specific receptors for antigen produced through a somatic diversification process, and allowing for enhanced response to subsequent exposures to the same antigen (immunological memory). Any process that contributes to cytokine production by a B cell. Any process involved with the carrying out of an immune response by a B cell, through, for instance, the production of antibodies or cytokines, or antigen presentation to T cells. An immune response mediated by immunoglobulins, whether cell-bound or in solution. Any process involved in the carrying out of an immune response by a lymphocyte. An immune response based on directed amplification of specific receptors for antigen produced through a somatic diversification process that includes somatic recombination of germline gene segments encoding immunoglobulin superfamily domains, and allowing for enhanced responses upon subsequent exposures to the same antigen (immunological memory). Recombined receptors for antigen encoded by immunoglobulin superfamily domains include T cell receptors and immunoglobulins (antibodies). An example of this is the adaptive immune response found in Mus musculus. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of B cell mediated immunity. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of B cell mediated immunity. Any process involved in the carrying out of an immune response by a leukocyte. Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate, or extent of B cell mediated immunity. Tolerance induction of mature B cells in the peripheral lymphoid tissues: the blood, lymph nodes, spleen, and mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue. The process by which a B cell expresses antigen (peptide or lipid) on its cell surface in association with an MHC protein complex.
