Table 2. Fungal molecular allergens currently included in the
WHO/IUIS nomenclature.
Data are presented as the allergen number per fungal genus, and
biochemical groups in each phylum, with the distribution of the most
frequent protein families among the three phyla. The table is not
exhaustive: other fungal allergen families have been identified, such as
heat shock proteins (HSP70), e.g. Alt a 3 and Pen c 19, while important
allergens, such as Alt a 1, the major allergen from Alternaria
alternata , belong to allergen families with as yet unknown biological
functions.
