摘要:
Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) extracts of pollen of 34 out of 95 angiosperm species (in 40 families) tested, lysed human and/or snake head fish (Channa striatusBloch) erythrocytes during assay for lectins in pollen. The bitter taste of the pollen extracts of these 34 species, the formation of a stable foam on shaking and the ability to lyse erythrocytes, suggested the presence of saponins, which have not, so far, been reported from pollen. Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and Mass Spectrum (MS) of the erythrocyte-lysing extracts of pollen of the garden gladiolus (Gladiolus gandavensisVan Hout.) confirmed that the pollen contained both triterpenoidal and steroidal saponins. The implications for the presence of saponins in pollen inhaled from the atmosphere, in the diagnosis and management of pollen allergy are discussed.
