The immune system is composed of multiple cell types, which together improve the resistance of the organism against infections. The unfolding of a successful host response ensuring effective protection against pathogens requires an appropriate coordination of the different players of the immune system. Innate cells and T cells extensively communicate during immune reactions, providing multiple opportunities for the mutual coordination of these two defense pathways. Little is known about the functional interactions between B and innate cells, and it is generally assumed that they influence each other indirectly through effects on T cells. However, recent studies highlighted important roles for innate cells in initial presentation of antigen to B cells after immunization, and in long-term maintenance of antibody-producing cells in bone marrow after resolution of immune responses. Furthermore, it was found that activated B cells could regulate the activity of innate cells through production of cytokines. Here, we review how direct interactions between innate and B cells can contribute to orchestration of humoral and cellular immunity.
