Short ragweed leaves‐stems, roots, and seeds were examined for the presence of the most potent pollen allergen, antigen E. Soluble proteins were precipitated by ammonium sulfate and partially purified by a combination of dialysis and anion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. Immunodiffusion, disk electrophoresis, and skin testing of short ragweed pollen‐sensitive individuals indicated that antigen E was present in leaves‐stems portion of this plant as well as the pollen.
