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 κ B pathway controls and coordinates B‐cell division and survival following TLR4 engagement.
