Pollen Allergens: Diversity, Characterization, and Immunological Responses

Pollen allergies, also known as hay fever or seasonal allergic rhinitis, affect a significant portion of the population worldwide. Pollen grains released by plants contain a diverse range of allergenic proteins that can trigger allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of pollen allergens, including their diversity, characterization methods, and the immunological responses they elicit in allergic individuals.
