摘要
An allergenically active protein, antigen Ra.3, was isolated from the aqueous extract of short ragweed pollen by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration, and ion-exchange chromatography. Antigen Ra.3 was found to be highly purified on the basis of TEAE-cellulose chromatography, polyacrylamide disc electrophoresis, sedimentation velocity ultracentrifugation, gel filtration, and immunodiffusion tests. Antigen Ra.3 was shown to have a molecular weight of 15,000, an [formula omitted] a total hexose + pentose content of 12.4%, and an amino acid composition distinct from the major allergen of ragweed pollen, antigen E. by direct skin, passive sensitization, and cross-neutralization tests, antigens Ra.3 and E differed in allergenic specificity but shared common allergenic determinants. © 1969, American Chemical Society.
