Fungal allergens are proteins derived from various mold species that can trigger IgE-mediated allergic reactions in humans. These allergens play a critical role in allergy diagnostics, immunological research, and environmental exposure studies, particularly in understanding respiratory conditions such as asthma and allergic rhinitis.
At Creative BioMart, we provide a comprehensive portfolio of high-quality fungal allergens, including recombinant and native proteins from clinically relevant species such as Aspergillus, Alternaria, Cladosporium, and Penicillium. Our products are designed to support diverse research applications, from mechanism studies to diagnostic assay development.

Fungal allergens are allergenic proteins produced by mold species that can induce immune responses, particularly IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reactions. These allergens are commonly found in both indoor and outdoor environments, where airborne fungal spores are easily inhaled.
Exposure to fungal allergens is associated with a variety of allergic diseases, including asthma, allergic rhinitis, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Due to their clinical relevance, fungal allergens are widely studied in both basic immunology and translational research, as well as used in diagnostic testing platforms.
Fungal allergens are derived from a wide range of mold species. Some of the most clinically relevant and widely studied fungal allergens include:
Aspergillus fumigatus is one of the most important allergenic fungi, especially in respiratory diseases. Key allergens such as Asp f 1 and Asp f 2 are commonly used in immunological studies and diagnostic assay development. These allergens are particularly relevant in conditions such as allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA).
Alternaria alternata is a major outdoor mold allergen strongly associated with asthma. Alt a 1 is the most well-characterized allergen from this species and serves as a critical biomarker in allergy diagnostics and environmental exposure studies.
Cladosporium herbarum is widely distributed in the environment and contributes significantly to airborne allergen exposure. Its allergens are frequently studied in relation to seasonal allergies and environmental monitoring.
Species such as Penicillium chrysogenum are common indoor molds that can contribute to allergic sensitization. Penicillium-derived allergens are used in both clinical research and indoor air quality studies.
