BACKGROUND Pollen is an important trigger of allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and/or asthma, and an exacerbating factor in atopic dermatitis. Although it is proposed that protease activity from allergen sources, such as mites, enhances allergenicity, little information is available on that from

BACKGROUND Pollen is an important trigger of seasonal rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and/or allergic asthma, and an exacerbating factor in atopic dermatitis. Pollen grains contain allergen proteins, enzymes, and bioactive lipid mediators, the latter two possibly involved in the pathogenesis of allergic
