Glycoprotein allergens in pollen of timothy. II. Isolation and characterization of a basic glycoprotein allergen
Abstract:
A basic glycoprotein allergen has been isolated from pollen of timothy by a combination of chromatography on columns of CM-Sepharose CL-6B, Bio-Gel P-30, DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B and Ultrogel AcA 44. The allergen which is immunologically identical with the allergen formerly denoted as antigen 30 had an isoelectric point of 9.45. The MW of the glycoprotein was found to be 54,000 and 38,000 by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration, respectively. The allergen contains arabinose (3.1%), fucose (0.7%), xylose (0.7%), mannose (2.1%), galactose (2.8%) and glucose (0.2%). In rocket radioimmunoelectrophoresis the allergen bound IgE from 57 (78%) of 73 patient sera tested. The allergen did not bind Yariv artificial galactosyl- and glucosyl-carbohydrate-binding antigens or a monoclonal antibody against ryegrass pollen glycoprotein allergens.

Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
