    Notes: A monoclonal antibody (MoAb P40) against the 68 kD major allergen of penicillium notatum (P. notatum) was obtained by immunizing the mouse with a crude extract of P. notatum. Analysed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting, P40 reacted with two different isoforms of the 68 kD component of P. notatum with pIs of 5.4 and 5.5. In addition to P. notatum, P40 showed positive ELISA activity to Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) but not to components of six other fungi including Alternaria porri, Cladosporium cladosporoides, Aureobasidium pullulans, Fusarium solani, Rhizopus arrhizus and Candida albicans. Analysed by ELISA, MoAb P40 also showed positive activity to two (P. frequentans and P. roseopurpureum) of the 10 other Penicillium species and two (A. terreus and A. flavus) of the four other Aspergillus species tested. SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting studies demonstrated P40 positive reactivity to components with MW of about 67 kD in all these Penicillium and Aspergillus species with positive ELISA activity to P40. Furthermore, immunoblotting activity of MoAb P40 to the 67 kD component of A. niger was also observed. The epitope of the 68 kD allergen of P. notatum recognized by MoAb P40 was resistant to treatment of periodate oxidation with concentration of NaIO4 up to 20 mm. This MoAb may thus be useful in the characterization and purification of the 68 kD allergen from crude extracts, and in the molecular cloning of allergen genes.

    Notes: Plaque radio-immuno assay has been used to isolate an FgE-binding clone from a lambda gt11 library of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus cDNA, The clone HD6 contained DNA encoding a 215 residue protein which contained a predicted 17 amino acid residue leader sequence, no cysteines and a single W-glycosylation site. The 198 residue mature protein would have a predicted MW of 22 177 D. No homologues were found in searches of the data banks. Sera from 14/38 allergic children reacted strongly with the polypeptide produced by the clone (37%). Skin tests showed reactivity in 16/30 (53%) allergic patients and 0/10 of controls. Affinity purification of rabbit antibodies with the clone showed that antibodies to the polypeptide had specificities to multiple products in mite extracts corresponding to components of Mr 29, 27 and 24 K by Western blotting. Absorption studies of IgE in allergic serum indicated further entities at 13 and 11.5 kD, It is proposed to name this allergen Der p VII.

    Isolation and partial characterization of Bermuda grass pollen allergen, BG-60a (1991)

    Notes: In an earlier study we showed that Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) pollen contains at least 12 IgE-binding proteins that can be analysed by immunoblot technique. One of the active components (BG-60) proved to be a basic protein of glycoprotein nature. It contained about 28% carbohydrate as determined from the dry weight and consisted of four molecules. One of the components was purified from the pollen extract by a combination of ammonium sulphate precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography on carboxymethyl-TSK, gel filtration on Ultrogel AcA 44 and chromatofocusing. Its molecular weight was approximately 60 kD by SDS PAGE and 34 kD by gel filtration chromalography. The isoelectric point of the antigen was about 9.7. The homogeneity of the antigen BG-60a was assessed by one single are of immunoprecipitation both in immanodiffusion and crossed immunoelectrophoresis and by one single band after SDS-PAGE. Its allergenicity was demonstrated by direct intradermal skin test on allergic patients and by examining IgE-binding reactivity with allergic patients' serum.

    Notes: A panel of 16 monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) directed against Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) pollen (BGP) were generated for identification and purification of the major allergenic components of the eliciting antigen (Ag). Radioimmunoprecipitation (RIP) analysis revealed that there were at least eight antigenic components with molecular weights (MW) ranging from 12 kilodalton (12 kDa) to 200 kDa. Each of these components has distinct biochemical characteristics based on sodium dodecyl sulfate – polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and isoelectric focusing(IEF). Among them, Cyn d Bd67K and Cyn d Bd58K were basic proteins, Cyn d Bd35K consisted of at least four isomeric components with isoelectric points ranging from 6.2 to 7.2. The other antigens Cyn d Bd68K, 48K, 38K, Cyn d Bd200K, Cyn d Bd46K, Cyn d Bd25K and Cyn d Bd12K) were all acidic proteins. The IgE binding capacity of all these antigens was determined with sera from 11 BGP-allergics by using a modified radioallergosorbent test. All but one of the antigens (Cyn d Bd200K) were found to react with human IgE from sera of BGP-allergic patients. Among those human IgE-binding molecules, Cyn d Bd35K. reacted with allergic sera most frequently (10 of 11), followed by Cyn d Bd58K (8 of 11) and Cyn d Bd46K (7 of 11) respectively. Our results suggest that Cyn d Bd35K, Cyn d Bd58K, and Cyn d Bd46K are major allergens of BGP, and the MoAbs we obtained should be valuable tools for further purificaiton of these allergens.
