| Biochemical name: | Profilin |
| MW(SDS-PAGE): | 14.1 kDa; 15.8 kDa |
| Allergenicity: | Of 37 sera with RAST values > 3 to M. annua pollen extract, 22 and 29 (51% and 59%) showed IgE binding to bands at 14.1 and 15.8 kDa on an immunoblot of M.annua pollen extract. These bands were identified as nMer a 1 by Western blot with a rabbit anti-profilin antibody (PubMed: 9104791). |
