B-cell development is characterized by a number of tightly regulated selection processes. Signals through the B-cell receptor (BCR) guide and are required for B-cell maturation, survival, and fate decision. Here, we review the role of the BCR during B-cell development, leading to the emergence of B1, marginal zone, and peripheral follicular B cells. Furthermore, we discuss BCR-derived signals on activated B cells that lead to germinal center and plasma cell differentiation.
