Comparison of buffers for extraction of mite allergen der p 1 from dust.
Der p 1 is the main allergen of house dust mite Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, which has routinely been detected in residential dust. However, the procedure for extracting Der p 1 from reservoir dust has not been well defined. The aim of this study was to compare Der p 1 mass fractions in dust extracts prepared using the following extraction buffers: phosphate (pH 7.4), borate (pH 8.0), and am...
متن کاملExtraction of house dust mite allergen, Der p 1, from dust.
A recent article in this journal found that the type of extraction buffer did not affect measured levels of the major group one allergen (Der p 1) from the house dust mite, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, in household dust samples (1). This differed from a previous study where about twice the levels of Der p 1 were found in borate-buffered saline extracts, compared to ammonium bicarbonate buffe...
متن کاملMolecular, Structural and Immunological Characterization of Der p 18, a Chitinase-Like House Dust Mite Allergen
BACKGROUND The house dust mite (HDM) allergen Der p 18 belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family 18 chitinases. The relevance of Der p 18 for house dust mite allergic patients has only been partly investigated. OBJECTIVE To perform a detailed characterization of Der p 18 on a molecular, structural and immunological level. METHODS Der p 18 was expressed in E. coli, purified to homogeneity, t...
متن کاملConversion of Der p 23, a new major house dust mite allergen, into a hypoallergenic vaccine.
Der p 23, a new, major house dust mite (HDM) allergen that is recognized by >70% of HDM-allergic patients, has high allergenic activity and, therefore, must be considered an important component for HDM-specific immunotherapy. We constructed and characterized a hypoallergenic Der p 23 vaccine for HDM immunotherapy. Three nonallergenic peptides from the C-terminal IgE epitope-containing part of D...
متن کاملThe crystal structure of a major dust mite allergen Der p 2, and its biological implications.
The crystal structure of the common house mite (Dermatophagoides sp.) Der p 2 allergen was solved at 2.15 A resolution using the MAD phasing technique, and refined to an R-factor of 0.209. The refined atomic model, which reveals an immunoglobulin-like tertiary fold, differs in important ways from the previously described NMR structure, because the two beta-sheets are significantly further apart...
