A study of aeroallergens in Nanning, Guangxi, China.
There were 43 families of airborne pollen in Nanning, and the major sensitizing pollens were those of Gramineae, Artemisia (a genus of Compositae), Chenopodiaceae, and Moraceae. It was found that sensitization with pollens of the same genus is similar. This may be helpful in selecting the proper antigen for immunotherapy.
