		Moreover, the present invention further extends to an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a Polistinae venom enzyme, or an immunomodulatory fragment, derivative or analog thereof, wherein the isolated nucleic acid molecule encodes an immunomodulatory portion of a T cell epitope or an antigenic portion of a B cell epitope of the Polistinae venom enzyme.
		Likewise, the present invention extends to an isolated polypeptide comprising an immunomodulatory portion of a T cell epitope of a Polistinae venom enzyme, wherein the polypeptide is encoded by an isolated nucleic acid molecule of the invention.
		The present invention is directed to recombinant nucleic acid molecules encoding Polistinae venom enzymes, such as phospholipase and hyaluronidase, and immunomodulatory fragments, derivatives or analogs thereof, and polypeptides encoded by such nucleic acid molecules useful in the diagnosis and therapy of vespid venom-specific allergy.

	Polistinae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Polistinae are eusocial wasps closely related to the more familiar yellowjackets, but placed in their own subfamily; it is the second most diverse subfamily within Vespidae, and while most species are tropical or subtropical, they include some of the most frequently-encountered large wasps in temperate regions.
		They are also known as paper wasps, which is a misleading term since other wasps (including yellowjackets) also build nests out of paper, and because some Polistine wasps (e.g., Polybia emaciata) build theirs out of mud [1].
		Moreover, the name paper wasp seems to apply mostly, but not exclusively, to the Polistinae.

		Sunday, 17 November 2002 - 11:12 AM This presentation is part of : Ten-Minute Papers, Section A. Phylogenetics and Biodiversity Studies
		A comprehensive phylogeny of the principal group of social wasps, Polistinae, is offered based on adult and larval morphology, construction behavior (nest architecture), and DNA data.

		These medium-sized wasps, typically 10–15 mm long, are often fl and yellow or brown and yellow.
		California has more than 100 species of vespids, including yellow jackets and hornets (subfamily Vespinae), paper wasps (Polistinae), and potter wasps (Eumeninae).
		Although the social wasps are the most conspicuous members of the family, the majority actually tend solitary nests.

		We were able to test this hypothesis in two different species of Polistes: P. erythrocephalus and P. carnifex.
		All are on Polistinae independent-founding species (Polistes or Mischocyttarus), and both involving multiply and singly founded colonies.
		Are wasps that join other colonies from related nests or non-related nests?

	Blue Amber Newsletter -- February 2006
		Wasp nests look shockingly similar to our hexagonal cells, plus they have the advantage of having been previously identified in Miocene Amber as a new species of the paper wasp genus Agelaia Lepeletier (Hymenoptera: Vespidae; Polistinae, Epiponini).
		At least three other finds of similar kinds have been studied and identified.
		And you want me to remain happy, don't you?
