If the allergen is pollen, avoid areas with high pollen concentration, use air filters to reduce the pollen in the air indoors, and change your furnace filters frequently. If the allergen is pet dander, remove pets from your home, keep them in a restricted location outside your home or liv...
Well it starts when an allergen gets into your body, and cells capture samples of that allergen (this also happens when bacteria get into you). After presenting that sample to immune cells (they’re probably in your spleen), and both your T and B cells start spilling antibodies specific to...
Bahia grass, Paspalum notatum, is an important pollen allergen source with a long season of pollination and wide distribution in subtropical and temperate regions. We aimed to characterize the 55 kDa allergen of Bahia grass pollen (BaGP) and ascertain its clinical importance. BaGP extract was se...

The major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1 is considered the prototype for the PR-10 protein family causing respiratory allergy. Here, we give structural evidence that Bet v 1 is a lipocalin-like protein with a striking structural resemblance to human lipocalin 2. Lipocalin 2 is highly express...
