This article discusses the identification and characterization of fructose-bisphosphate aldolase as new pollen allergens. The study found that this allergen was present in Artemisia sieversiana and Artemisia annua pollen and shared similarities with other allergens found in fish and chicken. The researchers purified and characterized the allergen, and it exhibited IgE-binding patterns and allergenicity. The findings suggest that fructose-bisphosphate aldolase could be used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in pollen allergies. The study also provides a framework for investigating other unknown pollen allergens. [Extracted from the article]
