RECOMBINANT DNA WHICH CODES FOR EPITOPES OF THE PROFILINE ALLERGEN USEFUL FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF ALLERGIES

摘要

The molecules of recombinant DNA code for a polypeptide which has at least one epitope of the profiline allergen of plants selected from the group comprised of Cynodon dactylon, Phleum pratense, Parietaria judaica, Helianthus annuus, Olea europaea and Mercuriales annua. The polypeptide is obtained by cultivating a host organism containing the corresponding microbial expression vehicle. Application to the treatment and diagnosis of certain allergies.
