Allergen Details
| Allergen name: | Art o 4 |
|---|---|
| Allergen source: |
Major taxonomic group: Plantae Eudikotyledons Order: Asterales Species: Artemisia ordosica (Ordos desert wormwood) NCBI Taxomony ID: 1027791 |
| Biochemical name: | Profilin |
| Molecular mass: | 14 kDa |
| Allergenicity: | Sera were collected from 107 patients during the Artemisia ordosica pollen season. Allergic patients were selected based on typical clinical symptoms of allergic rhinitis, a self-reported history of allergy to A. ordosica and sIgE to A. ordosica extract measured by ELISA. A control group of 50 healthy subjects without any symptoms of allergic rhinitis and no known allergy to A. ordosica pollen was included. IgE from 76 of 107 (71%) allergic patients' sera and 3 of 50 (6%) control sera bound to recombinant Art o 4.0101, expressed in E. coli. The recombinant allergen inhibited IgE binding to A. ordosica pollen extract by up to 45% using a pool of Art o 4-positive sera. |
