In the course of a humoral immune response, the average affinity of antibody for the immunizing antigen can increase in time. This process of affinity maturation is due to antigen-driven selection of higher affinity B cell clones and somatic hypermutation of the genes that code for the antibody vari

The choice between death and survival, a feature of early B cell development, is a choice also faced by mature B cells. If they survive this early developmental decision, mature B cells then face a second choice: either to undergo either terminal differentiation into plasma cells or to differentiate
