Allergenicity of native and recombinant major allergen groups 1 and 2 of Dermatophagoides mites in mite sensitive Thai patients
Conclusion: We successfully produced native and recombinant group-1 and group-2 allergens. According to their allergenicities, recombinant Der p 2 and rDer f 2 have potential to replace native allergen in diagnostic and therapeutic extracts. Moreover, they can employ as a standard reagent to measure the amount of group 2 allergen in the environment by sandwich-ELISA and utilise this as an immunogen for MAb production.
