The unique differentiation of IgE cells suggests unconventional mechanisms of IgE memory. IgE germinal centre cells are transient, most IgE cells are plasma cells, and high affinity IgE is produced by the switching of IgG1 cells to IgE. Here we investigate the function of subsets of IgG1 memory B cells in IgE production and find that two subsets of IgG1 memory B cells, CD80<sup>+</sup>CD73<sup>+</sup> and CD80<sup>-</sup>CD73<sup>-</sup>, contribute distinctively to the repertoires of high affin ...[more]
