Following encounters with microbes, cellular activation programs that involve the control of
proliferation and survival are initiated in follicular B cells either via the B‐cell receptor in a
specific antigen‐defined manner, or through Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) that recognize
specific microbial products. This review summarizes and discusses recent findings that shed
light on how the nuclear factor κB pathway controls and coordinates B‐cell division and
survival following TLR4 engagement.
