The homologous group of sweet grasses belongs to the Pooideae subfamily, but grass pollen species from other subfamilies can also cause allergy, such as Cynodon dactylon (Chloridoideae) and Phragmites communis (Arundinoideae). C dactylon and P communis have not been included in the sweet grasses
BACKGROUND
Group 1 allergens elicit a specific IgE response in about 90% of grass pollen-allergic patients. The aim of this work was to study the antigenic similarity among group 1 allergens from different grasses and to develop a monoclonal antibody (MAb)-based quantitation ELISA.
METHODS
Twenty
BACKGROUND
Pollen from different grass species are some of the most potent elicitors of Type I allergy worldwide. The characterization of antigenic structures and IgE epitopes common to different grass species is relevant to define reagents for diagnosis and specific therapy of grass pollen
Positive identification and documentation of the seasonal variation of aero-allergens and the immune responses to them has important implications for the timing of allergen avoidance measures and the selection of patients suitable for immunotherapy. The relative abundance of aero-allergens in the
Phytoremediation has emerged as a green, passive, solar energy driven and cost effective approach for environmental cleanup when compared to physico-chemical and even other biological methods. Textile dyes and effluents are condemned as one of the worst polluters of our precious water bodies and
