Core Tip	The role of B cells in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma tumorigenesis is controversial. Human studies show clusters of B cells, interacting with other immune cells, forming active sites of the immune response, called tertiary lymphoid structures. In vitro experiments and in vivo studies using B-cell deficient mice suggest the role of an immuno-suppressive B cell phenotype to induce tumour-progression. These discordant findings highlight the need of further studies using better murine models to recapitulate pancreatic cancer and its immune infiltrate.
