Immunochemical Characterization of Ligustrum Vulgare (Privet) Pollen Allergens: Study of Common Allergenic Plant in Iran.

Ligustrum vulgare (Privet) pollen proteins are responsible for allergies in susceptible individuals in many regions of the world. This study investigated the immunochemical characterization of Privet pollen extract and the occurrence of skin prick test reactivity to Privet and other allergenic pollen grains in allergic rhinitis patients. All subjects experienced a skin prick test with twenty-two allergen extracts.

Molecular and immunochemical characterization of Pop n 2: A new allergen of Populus nigra pollen.

Background: Pollen is one of the most common allergens that cause respiratory allergies worldwide. Pollen grains from poplars have been reported as important sources of pollinosis in many countries.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine the molecular and immunochemical characterization of Pop n 2, a novel allergen of Populus nigra (P nigra) pollen extract.

Association of HLA-DRB1 Alleles with Ulcerative Colitis in the City of Kerman, South Eastern Iran.

The association of HLA class II genes with ulcerative colitis (UC) as an autoimmune disease has been investigated for several years. However, factors responsible for genetic predisposition of this disease have so far not been clearly understood. In this study, for the first time, we aimed to investigate the association between HLA-DRB1 types and UC in the population of Kerman, a city southeast Iran.
