Recombinant Dactylis glomeRata Pollen allergen Dac g 3 production in yeast involves co-cloning the gene of interest (1-96aa of Dactylis glomeRata Pollen allergen Dac g 3) into an expression vector with an N-terminal 6xHis-tag gene, followed by transformation into yeast cells. These cells are cultured under conditions that induce protein expression. Once sufficient growth is achieved, the cells are lysed to extract the recombinant protein. Purification is achieved using the affinity chromatography method. The purity of the protein is assessed using SDS-PAGE, greater than 90%.
Dactylis glomerata pollen allergen Dac g 3 is a significant allergen found in the pollen of Orchard or Dactylis glomerata. Studies have shown that Dac g 3 is a major allergen recognized by the serum of a high percentage of individuals sensitive to D. glomerata pollen [1]. This allergen has been isolated and characterized, demonstrating its potency in triggering allergic reactions in individuals exposed to D. glomerata pollen [1]. Furthermore, research has focused on identifying and characterizing various allergens present in D. glomerata pollen, highlighting the importance of understanding the allergenic components of this pollen species [2].
