This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of memory B cells in the circulation of patients with AR and those undergoing AIT, as well as their clinical significance.Methods: This study involved a cohort comprising 32 healthy control subjects, 39 individuals diagnosed with AR, and 31 AR patients who had received AIT for over one year. Visual analog scale (VAS) scores were used for symptom assessment, and the serum concentrations of immunoglobulins and cytokines were quantified. This study evaluated alterations in the proportions of peripheral blood memory B cells and their subpopulations, plasma cells, and various T-cell subsets across the three participant groups.Results: The proportion of IgA+CD27- class-switched memory B cells in the AR group significantly decreased compared to the control group, but significantly increased following AIT (P < 0.05). In AR patients, circulating IgA+CD27- class-switched memory B cells were significantly positively correlated with Treg cells, IL-10, and IL-4 and significantly negatively correlated with IFN-γ, total IgE, sIgE, and VAS scores (P < 0.05). After AIT, the number of circulating IgA+CD27- class-switched memory B cells in AR patients was significantly positively correlated with the number of Treg cells and IL-10 and significantly negatively correlated with the VAS score (P < 0.05).Conclusion: The IgA+CD27- class-switched memory cell subset in human peripheral blood may serve as a potential biomarker for evaluating AR symptoms and treatment efficacy. Its mechanism may be associated with interactions between T and B cells.Keywords: memory B cell, IgA memory B cell, allergic rhinitis
