In many cases, patients allergic to birch pollen also show allergic reactions after ingestion of
certain fruits or vegetables. This observation is explained at the molecular level by cross …

BACKGROUND: Individuals with birch pollen allergy frequently experience hypersensitivity
reactions to certain foods, primarily because of IgE antibodies specific for the major birch …

Pollens from trees of the order Fagales (eg birch, alder, hazel, and hornbeam) all contain
one major allergen-the main cause for tree pollen allergy. So far the major allergens from …

Background: Individual amino acid residues of the major birch pollen allergen, Bet v 1, have
been identified to be crucial for IgE recognition. The objective of the present study was to …

Birch belongs to the order Fagales and the family Betulaceae. Birch pollen is one of the most
important airborne inhaled allergens in the north temperate zone, leading to allergic rhinitis …

The peanut allergen Ara h 8 is an important allergen for birch pollen allergic patients
because of the cross-reactivity to the homologous Bet v 1. As the existence of Ara h 8 has …

Fagales allergens belonging to the Bet v 1 family account responsible for the majority of
spring pollinosis in the temperate climate zones in the Northern hemisphere. Among them …

Abstract cDNAs coding for the major allergen of alder (Alnus glutinosa) pollen Aln g 1, for
nine isoforms of Bet v 1, the major birch (Betula verrucosa) pollen allergen, and for four …

The Fra a 1 allergen in strawberry (Fragaria ananassa) is homologous to the major birch
pollen allergen Bet v 1, which has numerous isoforms differing in terms of amino acid …

It is hypothesized that allergens are at the borderline of self and non-self and, through as yet
elusive circumstances, mount a Th2 response for allergic sensitization. The major birch …
