Group-1 Grass Pollen Allergens with Near-Identical Sequences Identified in Species of Subtropical Grasses Commonly Found in Southeast Asia
Background and objectives: Group-1 grass allergens or beta-expansins (EXPBs) are major allergens from pollen of all grass species.Previous studies showed that they are highly conserved (64−85%) in Pooideae species, which are found mostly in the temperate regions.However, the information about group-1 allergens from common grass species in sub
