Abstract
Seven cDNA clones encoding rice allergenic proteins were newly isolate d. Comparison of the sequences of ten cDNA clones, including the previ ously isolated three clones results in their classification into four subfamilies. Homologies in the nucleotide sequences among and within s ubfamilies are 70-85% and above 95%, respectively. A sequence of twent y five amino-acid residues at the C-terminal proximal region is highly conserved among all clones and resembles that of plant lipid transfer proteins.
