New roles for the BLyS/BAFF family in antigen-experienced B cell niches

BLyS family members govern selection and survival of cells in the pre-immune B cell compartment, and emerging evidence suggests similar roles in antigen-experienced B cell pools. We review the features of this family, with particular emphasis on recent findings of how BLyS influences affinity matura...
