Environmental and occupational respiratory diseases – 1034. A novel ELISA method for the detection of dust mite allergens using IgY technology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background One of the main strategies to reduce the expression of allergic symptoms in atopic patients sensitized to house dust mites is the use of detection system for monitoring and reduce environmental allergens in indoor spaces. In this context the IgY technology represent a valuable tool. The specific aims of this study was to standardize a in house method of indirect ELISA assay for detection of mite allergens using mite IgY antibodies.

Background: Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated an association between indoor fungal growth and respiratory symptoms. However, in only a few studies was fungal exposure actually measured. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the measurement by enzyme immunoassay of extracellular polysaccharides of Aspergillus and Penicillium species (EPS-Asp/Pen) in house dust as a marker fo...
