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. 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. The process by which an antigen-presenting cell expresses antigen (peptide or lipid) on its cell surface in association with an MHC protein complex. B cell antigen processing and presentation which is initiated by uptake of antigen bound to the B cell receptor. Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate, or extent of B cell antigen processing and presentation. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of B cell antigen processing and presentation. The process by which a B cell expresses antigen (peptide or lipid) on its cell surface in association with an MHC protein complex. B cell antigen processing and presentation which is initiated by uptake of antigen via pinocytosis. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate, or extent of B cell antigen processing and presentation. Any process involved in the development or functioning of the immune system, an organismal system for calibrated responses to potential internal or invasive threats.
