The B Cell Receptor Itself Can Activate Complement to Provide the Complement Receptor 1/2 Ligand Required to Enhance B Cell Immune Responses In Vivo

B cells express complement receptors (CRs) that bind activated fragments of C3 and C4. Immunized CR knockout (KO) mice have lower antibody titers and smaller germinal centers (GCs), demonstrating the importance of CR signals for the humoral immune response. CR ligands were thought to be generated vi...
