Genomic and Proteomic Characterisation of the European House Dust Mite, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus
House dust mites are major causative agents in the pathogenesis of allergy. Their proximity with human habitats, association with development of allergenic diseases, and resistance to physical and chemical control measures; make them some of the most medically important mites. Understanding of …

The Effect of Carpet Fiber on the Growth of Dermataphagiodes farniae in a Controlled Environment
Mites are endemic and allergy to mite excreta and parts is one of the most common allergies. Health care practitioners have recommended the removal of carpets from homes of people with mite allergies. Little, if any, consideration is given to the fact that some persons may benefit directly from the …

Soluble C-Kit Receptor Level May Be a Serological Marker for Predicting the Extent of Upper and Lower Airway Inflammation
… Group I and II showed positive responses to house dust mites on skin prick test. The concentrations of sc-kit and SCF in of the study subjects were measured by ELISA (R&D systems; Minneapolis, USA). ECP level was measured using CAP system(Pharmacia-Upjohn, Uppsala,Sweden). RESULTS: There were …

Moisture Buffering in the Indoor Environment
… environment, e.g., mold growth on walls and house dust mites in beds, and thereby also have an impact on the health of the inhabitants. Apart from the health aspects, moisture buffering is also important to take into account in hygrothermal calculations as well as for design of indoor climate …

Determining the Effects and Signaling Properties of β-Blockers in House Dust Mite-Driven Murine Models of Asthma
… models of asthma using the allergens from house dust mites (HDM). To further increase the clinical relevance of our present studies, we designed protocols to study the ‘prophylactic’ and ‘therapeutic’ effects of β-blockers by initiating drug treatment pre- and post- the development of …

The effect of domestic mechanical heat recovery ventilation on asthma control of patients allergic to the house dust mite
… humid environment favours the growth of the house dust mite population. Allergy to the house dust mite is the most common allergy associated with asthma in the UK. Studies of occupational asthma, seasonal asthma and at altitude infer that the environment may directly affect symptoms of …

Intrinsic alterations of the skin barrier function promote the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis in dogs
… response to common environmental stimuli such as house dust mites. Based on such hypotheses we isolated canine keratinocytes from healthy and atopic dogs and exposed them to several immunological stimuli (cytokines, bacterial antigens, house dust mite extract, and vitamin D3) to mimic the milieu …

Structural and ligand binding studies of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) associated proteins
… aeroallergen from Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus house dust mites, which has been implicated as an MD-2 analogue. By binding LPS and TLR4 in place of MD-2, Der p 2 may activate pro-inflammatory signaling and stimulate IgE production and allergic reaction, most often associated with allergic …
