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 by which B cells are selected to survive based on signaling through the B cell antigen receptor. Any process leading to positive selection of B cells in the bone marrow. Positive selection is the process by which B or T cells are selected to survive based on signaling through their antigen receptors. The process whereby a precursor cell type acquires the specialized features of a B cell. Any process leading to positive selection of B cells in the periphery. Positive selection is the process by which B or T cells are selected to survive based on signaling through their antigen receptors.
