The antibody-mediated immune response is crucial for the development of protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding the interaction between SARS-CoV-2 and the immune system is critical because new variants emerge as a result of the virus's ongoing evolution. Understanding the function of B cells in the SARS-CoV-2 infection process is critical for developing effective and long-lasting vaccines against this virus. Triggered by the innate immune response, B cells transform into memory B cells (MBCs). It is fascinating to observe how MBCs provide enduring immune defence, not only eradicating the infection but also safeguarding against future reinfection. If there is a lack of B cell activation or if the B cells are not functioning properly, it can lead to a serious manifestation of the disease and make immunisation less effective. Individuals with disruptions in the B cells have shown increased production of cytokines and chemokines, resulting in a poor prognosis for the disease. Therefore, we have developed an updated review article to gain insight into the involvement of B cells in SARS-CoV-2 infection. The discussion has covered the generation, functioning, and dynamics of neutralising antibodies (nAbs). Furthermore, we have emphasised immunotherapeutics that rely on nAbs. • B cells play pivotal role in offering defense against viral infections. • Perturbations in the B cells can lead to poor prognosis of the disease. • Memory B cells (MBCs) play essential role in combatting the deleterious consequences of SARS-CoV-2’s variants. • Neutralising antibodies (nAbs) generated by B cells have versatile applications in the development of therapeutic regimens against COVID-19.
