  • Publication number: 20120288526
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the provision of the genetic sequence of the major grass pollen allergen Phl p 4. The invention covers fragments, new combinations of partial sequences and point mutants having a hypoallergenic action. The recombinant DNA molecules and the derived polypeptides, fragments, new combinations of partial sequences and variants can be utilised for the therapy of pollen-allergic diseases. The proteins prepared by recombinant methods can be employed for the in vitro and in vivo diagnosis of pollen allergies.

  • Patent number: 8263090
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the preparation and use of variants of the group 1 allergens of the Poaceae (sweet grasses) which are characterised by reduced IgE reactivity compared with the known wild-type allergens and at the same time by substantially maintained reactivity with T-lymphocytes. These hypoallergenic allergen variants can be employed for the specific immunotherapy (hyposensitisation) of patients having grass pollen allergy or for the preventive immunotherapy of grass pollen allergies.

  • Patent number: 7935347
    Abstract: The invention relates to the preparation of DNA sequences of group 4 major allergens from cereals. The invention also includes fragments, novel combinations of partial sequences and point mutations with hypoallergenic effects. The recombinant DNA molecules and the derived polypeptides, fragments, novel combinations of partial sequences and variants can be used for therapy of pollen-allergy diseases. The proteins produced by recombination can be applied to in-vitro and in-vivo diagnosis of pollen allergies.
