Class switch recombination (CSR) is a process by which B cells switch their immunoglobulin isotype and develop pathogen-eliminating antibodies. Here, the authors show that a protein kinase DYRK1A is required for protection from viral infection through the regulation of CSR and effective clonal expansion.
