Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of B cell differentiation. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of B cell differentiation. The change in morphology and behavior of a mature or immature B cell resulting from exposure to a mitogen, cytokine, chemokine, cellular ligand, or an antigen for which it is specific. A change in morphology and behavior of a lymphocyte resulting from exposure to a specific antigen, mitogen, cytokine, chemokine, cellular ligand, or soluble factor. The process dependent upon B cell antigen receptor signaling in response to self or foreign antigen through which B cells are selected for survival. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of B cell differentiation. The process whereby transitional stage B cells acquire the specialized features of mature B cells in the spleen. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized hemopoietic precursor cell acquires the specialized features of a plasmacytoid dendritic cell or any cell of the myeloid leukocyte or lymphocyte lineages. The process whereby a precursor cell type acquires the specialized features of a B cell. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized precursor cell acquires specialized features of B cells, T cells, or natural killer cells. The process whereby a precursor cell type acquires the specialized features of an immature B cell. The process whereby a lymphoid progenitor cell becomes committed to become any type of B cell.
