ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a nucleic acid having a nucleotide sequence coding for Sor h I, a major allergen of Sorghum halepense, and fragments thereof. The present invention also provides purified Sor h I or at least one fragment thereof, produced in a host cell transformed with a nucleic acid sequence coding for Sor h I, or at least one fragment thereof and fragments of Sor h prepared synthetically. Sor h I and fragments thereof are useful for diagnosing, treating, and preventing allergy to Johnson grass pollen.
