Anti-Allergen Antibodies

Allergic diseases and symptoms arise from an active immune response to normally inocuous antigens, such as dust mites, pet dander, pollen, mold, or food. Of these allergens, ovalbumin (OVA) has been identified as an allergenic food protein (1,2), while house dust mite (HDM) is an important indoor allergen (3,4).  Additionally, Japanese cedar pollen, Cryj1, is one of the major allergens which causes hay fever in Japan.
