Characterization of PR-10 genes from eight Betula species and detection of Bet v 1 isoforms in birch pollen
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Bet v 1 is an important cause of hay fever in northern Europe. Bet v 1 isoforms from the European white birch (Betula pendula) have been investigated extensively, but the allergenic potency of other birch species is unknown. The presence of Bet v 1 and closely related PR-10 genes in the genome was established by amplification and sequencing of alleles from eight birch species that represent the four...
