Abstract
SEVERAL methods for the purification of allergens from pollens and from other vegetable and animal sources have been reported1–9, but recently, by utilizing highly selective chromatographic procedures, it has been possible to obtain allergens of much higher purity than hitherto described10,11. At least two groups of allergens have been found in rye pollen, a major group, active in the majority of sensitive patients, and a minor group, active in only a small proportion. It seems likely that such groups also exist in other grass and ragweed pollens causing hay-fever.
