Recombinant DNA molecules comprising a nucleotide sequence which codes for the atopy related antigens Ka, Kb, ara-3 or ara-4 (as defined in figures 1 - 4) or homologous forms thereof or at least one epitope thereof, or a nucleotide sequence which hybridizes with such a sequence under conditions of high stringency. Recombinant DNA expression vectors and host cells comprising these DNA molecules. Polypeptides encoded by the recombinant DNA molecules. Diagnostic and therapeutic methods employing an atopy related antigen, in particular the Ka, Kb, ara-3, ara-4 and ara-5 antigens that are based on the sequences defined in figures 1 - 5. |
