Other proteins belonging to this family include the major pollen allergens:

Pollen counts measure the amount of pollen allergens in the air.

It is highly allergenic, as the greatest pollen allergen of all pollens, and the prime cause of hay fever.

The British physicians Noon and Freeman were the first researchers to test pollen allergen immunotherapy in a patient cohort.

For instance, grass pollen allergens cross-react with food allergy proteins in vegetables such as onion, lettuce, carrots, celery and corn.

A subset of β-expansins has evolved a special role in grass pollen, where they are known as group 1 grass pollen allergens.

The domain is also found in an Olive pollen allergen as well as at the C terminus of family 17 glycosyl hydrolases.

Besides, the cousins of birch pollen allergens, like apples, grapes, peaches, celery and apricots, produce severe itching in the ears and throat.

Evaluation of serum IgG4 antibodies specific to grass pollen allergen components in the follow up of allergic patients undergoing subcutaneous and sublingual immunotherapy.

The cypress pollen allergy brings a cross reactivity between diverse species like olive, privet, ash and Russian olive tree pollen allergens.

Gain of structure and IgE epitopes by eukaryotic expression of the major Timothy grass pollen allergen, Phl p 1.

Bifidobacterium longum BB536 does not improve bowel regularity; does not resist cedar pollen allergens; does not decrease pathogens.

The START domain structure revealed an unexpected similarity to that of the birch pollen allergen Bet v 1 and to bacterial polyketide cyclases/aromatases.

Domains such as potassium channels, pollen allergen Bra r II, mitochondrial carrier proteins, the cation (Ca 2+and Na +) pore region and nucleoside transporters suggest possible functions.

You may need an allergy test, the most common of which is a skin test that shows how you react to different allergens, including specific pollen allergens like ragweed and grass pollen.

People who are severely allergic to pollen and who do not get adequate relief from medication are usually advised to consider immunotherapy: allergy desensitization shots, which induce a form of tolerance to pollen allergens.

For instance, the EF-hand protein identified as having a pollen allergen Bra r II domain is similar to an EF-hand protein from pollen (APC1) isolated by Rozwadowski et al. [ 36].

A similar approach has been tried in ryegrass, which produces pollen that is a major cause of hay fever: here a fertile GM grass was produced that lacked the main pollen allergen, demonstrating that the production of hypoallergenic grass is also possible.
