Evaluation of the action of precipitating agents to obtain allergenic proteins from crude mite extracts

Introduction: Allergen proteins found in dust mite extracts, such as Dermatophagoides farinae (DF), Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (DP) and Tyrophagus putrescentiae (TP), are relevant for scientific studies in the allergy and immunotherapy fields. The precipitation/concentration of protein extracts may f...

Immunological analysis of allergenic cross-reactivity between Cheyletus malaccensis and Dermatophagoides farinae, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Blomia tropicalis

Objective: The mite Cheyletus malaccensis is cited in the literature as a predator of other mite species. Little is known about its protein composition, and few studies have evaluated its ability to trigger atopic respiratory allergic reactions. The present study aims to investigate the protein profile f...

Homology modeling and epitope prediction of Der f 33

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (5), 2018
Dermatophagoides farinae (Der f), one of the main species of house dust mites, produces more than 30 allergens. A recently identified allergen belonging to the alpha-tubulin protein family, Der f 33, has not been characterized in detail. In this study, we used bioinformatics tools to construct the second...

A importância da rinite alérgica na etiologia da respiração bucal

HU rev; 32 (3), 2006
A respiração bucal (RB) pode ter diversas causas, tais como: rinite alérgica, desvios de septo nasal, postura incorreta, pólipos nasais, alterações anatômicas congênitas, abscessos, tumores, constituindo a rinite alérgica uma das mais comumente encontradas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar ...
