Introduction:
Pollen allergy, also known as hay fever, affects a significant portion of the global population and is a major cause of respiratory allergies. Pollen grains contain various allergenic proteins that trigger allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. Understanding the biochemical basis of pollen allergenicity is crucial in developing effective diagnostic tools and therapeutic interventions for pollen allergy. This thesis aims to explore the biochemical mechanisms underlying pollen allergenicity and their implications for allergy management.
