Abstract/Contents: | "The antigenicity of pollens of 46 species from 36 genera representative of all the major groups of grasses, is examined by immuno-diffusion with antisera to the festucoid Lolium perenne and the chloridoid dactylon. Festucoid grasses show a high degree of immunological similarity with five Lolium antigens, with which grasses from other major groups show relatively little cross-reactivity. Only one Lolium antigen is present throughout the range of grasses tested. Taxonomic patterns are also apparent in tests using anti-Cynodon serum, the antigenic patterns with chloridoids being comparable with and no less complex than those of festucoids with anti-Lollum serum. The taxonomically ordered variation of grass pollen antigens involves both heat-labile and heat-stable (probably allergenic) fractions." |
