Abstract
We have isolated and characterized a cDNA clone, Ory s 1, encoding a group-1 allergen of rice pollen The Ory s 1 protein shows significant sequence identity to the major allergen of rye-grass pollen, Lol p 1 RNA gel blot analysis shows that the Ory s 1 gene is expressed in mature anthers, but not in vegetative or other floral tissues tested Southern blot analysis indicates that this clone represents a member of a small gene family in rice Western blot analyses of total rice pollen proteins with the group-1 allergen-specific monoclonal 3A2 and IgE antibodies from grass pollen-allergic patients, revealed the presence of cross-reactive antigenic and allergenic epitopes in Ory s 1
