Nutrition is one of the most easily modifiable environmental factors during early life that may play a role in allergic disease prevention.
Recent studies with synthetic peptides representing allergens and non-allergenic house dust mite proteins now offer new research avenues on HDM induced immune responses
The mutant Der p 2 had altered structure and reduced ability to stimulate pro-inflammatory responses and to bind IgE
Recent findings on house dust allergens and their contribution to knowledge that will significantly impact current and future allergy treatments are appraised
IgE antibodies in house dust mite (HDM) allergy follow a predictable pattern. Half are directed against two dominant allergens and the remainder largely against
