Identification of major allergens of Paper Mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera) pollens and purification of novel 40 kDa allergen protein : original research

The pollen of Paper Mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera) is a major cause of urticaria and severe respiratory symptoms. The composition of allergens of Paper Mulberry pollen has not yet been determined. In the present study, we identified and characterised the potential allergens in Paper Mulberry pollen involved to trigger the allergic reaction in humans and also purified 40 kDa allergen protein of Paper Mulberry. Pollen was collected from Paper...
