Monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) raised to an aqueous extract of cocksfoot grass (Dactylis glomerata) pollen have been characterised. Mab 1B9 was demonstrated by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting to recognise a major allergen of an approximate molecular weight of 28 kD in this extract, termed DG3, and a component with a molecular weight of between 35 and 40 kD in an extract of Secale cereale (cultivated rye) pollen. The 28 kD component of cocksfoot grass pollen isolated by affinity chromatography using Mab 1B9 was recognised by IgE antibodies in 80% (8 of 10) atopic sera, but only weakly by 25% (1 of 4) non-atopic sera tested. N-terminal sequencing of DG3 purified by affinity chromatography, 2 D electrophoresis and electroblotting to polyvinylidenedifluoride revealed significant homology with a group-V allergen (Phl p V) from timothy grass (Phleum pratense).
