NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULE ENCODING AN ALLERGEN PREPROTEIN OF A MITE OF GENUS DERMATOPHAGOIDES OR EUROGLYPHUS AND USE THEREOF FOR PROTECTING SAID ALLERGEN IN PLANTS

摘要

The invention concerns a purified nucleic acid molecule comprising or consisting of a polynucleotide sequence coding for (i) the mature form of a protein allergen of a mite of genus Dermatophagoides and (ii) a propeptide located at the N-terminal end of said protein allergen. Said nucleotide sequence also codes for (iii) a signal peptide located at the N-terminal end of said propeptide. The invention also concerns the use of said nucleic acid molecule for preparing recombinant allergens. The invention further concerns the method for obtaining said allergen.
