ambrosia scabra/proline

Art v 1, the major pollen allergen of the composite plant mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) has been identified recently as a thionin-like protein with a bulky arabinogalactan-protein moiety. A close relative of mugwort, ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) is an important allergen source in North America,

An allergenically active protein, designated as RFB2, was isolated from short ragweed pollen using an aqueous-organic solvent system followed by gel chromatography. Antigen RFB2 was found to be homogeneous based on several criteria, e.g., column chromatography, gel electrophoresis and

Ragweed and mugwort are important allergenic weeds belonging to the Asteraceae or Compositae plant family. Pollen of mugwort is one of the main causes of allergic reactions in late summer and autumn in Europe and affects about 10-14% of the patients suffering from pollinosis. Ragweed pollen
