Humoral immunity is maintained by long-lived plasma cells that secrete antigen-specific antibodies, and memory B cells that rapidly respond to antigen re-exposure by generating new plasma cells and memory B cells. Developing effective immunological memory is essential for protection against pathogens, and is the basis of successful vaccinations. IgE responses have evolved for protection against helminth parasites infections and against toxins, but IgE is also a potent mediator of allergic diseases. There has been a dramatic increase in the incidence of allergic diseases in recent decades and this has provided the impetus to study the nature of IgE antibody responses. As will be discussed in depth in this review, the IgE memory response has unique features that distinguish it from classical B cell memory}, organization = {NIH/NIAID grants R01AI130343 and R21AI133076}, organization = {Department of Medicine of New York University Medical School (NYUMS)}, organization = {Bernard Levine postdoctoral fellowship (NYUMS)}, organization = {Fundación Ramón Areces postdoctoral fellowship (Spain)}, organization = {Sacker Institute of Graduate Biomedical Sciences of NYUSM}, publisher = {Frontiers}, keywords = {Allergy}, keywords = {IgE}, keywords = {Memory B cells}, title = {Non-classical B Cell Memory of Allergic IgE Responses}, doi = {10.3389/fimmu.2019.00715}, author = {Saunders, Sean P. and Ma, Erica G.
