title: Size-exclusion liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis of pollen allergens.
abstract: Allergens from the pollen of Phleum pratense, Dactylis glomerata. Arrhenatherum elatius, Secale cereale, Lolium perrene and Festuca sp. were analysed by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE). SEC was used for the determination of the molecular masses of main allergens. A CE method, using either 150 mmol/l phosphoric acid (pH 1.8) or a micellar system consisting of 50 mmol/l sodium dodecyl sulphate-20 mmol/l borate (pH 9.35), was developed as a rapid and efficient alternative to SEC, especially for process control of allergenic preparations. The results obtained by the two methods confirmed similarities in the structures of the studied pollen allergens.
