House Dust Mites (HDM) are a major source of allergen and found in temperate and humid areas. There is widely published data that shows how House Dust Mites avoidance can reduce exposure to allergens. This article looks at the properties of house dust mite and recommendations for reducing HDM in the home.. Biology of the house dust mite. House Dust Mites are arachnids not insects and related to ticks and spiders such as daddy long legs. Thirteen species of HDM have been found in dust however the two which are the most common and are the main source of the HDM allergen are Dermatophagoides farinae and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus from the family Pyroglyphidae. The life cycle of the HDM Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus consists of 5 stages. An adult mated 먹튀검증사이트 female will lay 40 - 80 eggs in her lifetime, when the egg hatches a six legged larva emerges. There are two nymphal stages (which feed and moult before an eight legged adult is developed. The adult HDM has a mouth-like ...
The current allergy diagnostic reagent of house dust mites marketed in the USA is at 10,000 AU/ml. This is based on the IDEAL50 concept put forth by Turkeltaub et al, almost 3 decades ago. Such concentration has been shown to give large degree of false positives even in the US population.. In Thailand, it was anecdotally observed that at such concentration, sizes of positive tests among atopic subjects were quite large and could lead to discomfort and a possible anaphylaxis in certain allergic individuals. Moreover, up to 40% of normal individuals could give positive reaction to this concentration.. It is therefore desirable to reexamine the appropriate concentration of diagnostic reagent of house dust mites among the Thai population and will be the main objective of this research. ...

Background. Recent investigations suggest that neutrophils may play an important role in the late-phase allergen-induced inflammation in allergic airway diseases.. Aim. To evaluate neutrophil chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in patients with allergic asthma and rhinitis challenged with inhaled D. pteronyssinus.. Methods. Twenty eight patients with allergic asthma and 27 with rhinitis, all sensitized to D. pteronyssinus, as well as 10 healthy subjects underwent bronchial challenge with D. pteronyssinus. Neutrophils from peripheral blood were isolated 24 h before as well as 7 h and 24 h after challenge. For chemotaxis analysis neutrophils were stimulated with interleukin-8, and for ROS analysis as well as for phagocytosis cells were stimulated with S. aureus bacteria. Neutrophil functions were analyzed flow cytometrically.. Results. Neutrophils chemotaxis and ROS production were increased, while phagocytosis was decreased 24 h before challenge in patient ...

The aim of this study was to test the effects of the iodine bromide water of the thermal baths of Salsomaggiore on patients suffering from specific nonseasonal rhinitis (Dermatophagoides Farinae and Dermatophagoides Pteronyssinus). The patients, 80 in all, were divided in two groups (group A and group B). All of the patients underwent rhinoscopic examination, anterior rhinomanometry, prick test, rast screening, total IgE assay together with that of the other immunoglobulins (IgA, IgM, IgG), mucociliary clearance evaluation and were asked to evaluate their degree of nasal obstruction, before and after 30 days of treatment. Group A carried out the experiment by applying endonasal Acqua Sal spray seven times a day for 30 days; group B used oily drops for the same time and with the same frequency. At the end of the trial period, the patients in group A showed a 100% improvement in their subjective perception of their symptomatology, in comparison with a 33% improvement in the control group.

The house-dust mite (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) is a small eight-legged creature. You cannot see it with the naked eye. It is about 0,33 mm long.
Frequencies of sensitisation to Blo t 5 in Taiwanese and Malaysian patients sera were shown to be 91.8% and 73.5%, respectively (24). Other studies have reported Blo t 5 to be a major allergen, with sensitisation rates of up to 70% in populations prone to B. tropicalis allergy (22). Most patients appear to be concurrently sensitised to D. pteronyssinus, and around 18% of patients may be found to be sensitised to B. tropicalis as a result of cross-reactivity of D. pteronyssinus (12). In a Colombian study, 24% of mite-allergic patients were shown to have IgE binding to B. tropicalis extract (20). A study compared the importance of 2 types of sensitisation: to B. tropicalis and D. pteronyssinus among asthma patients from Florida, Puerto Rico, and Brazil; and to D. pteronyssinus among patients from the United States and the United Kingdom. IgE antibodies to recombinant Blo t 5 were found in 45% of sera from B. tropicalis-allergic asthmatics in the group from Florida, Puerto Rico, and Brazil, ...
Inhaled furosemide has been shown to protect subjects with asthma from bronchoconstriction induced by a wide variety of stimuli, including allergen, but the mechanism of action is controversial. We have used an in vitro model of allergen-induced bronchoconstriction to examine the effects of furosemide and other ion transport inhibitors. Human bronchial rings were passively sensitized by incubation with serum from an atopic donor and were challenged with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. Allergen-challenged bronchial rings developed bronchoconstriction which was effectively inhibited by the cysteinyl-leukotriene antagonist ICI 198,615 (10(-7) M) and to a lesser extent by terfenadine (10(-5) M). Assessed over 60 min furosemide 10(-6), 10(-5), and 10(-4) M inhibited contractions by a mean (95% confidence interval [CI]) 7.9% (-23.5, 39.3%, p | 0.05), 44.2% (12.9, 75.2%, p | 0.01), and 86.9% (55.5, 118.3%, p | 0.001) respectively (n = 5). The same concentrations of bumetanide inhibited contractions by 21.5% (

The astigmatid mite Sarcoptes scabiei is the causative agent of scabies, a highly infectious parasitic disease of the skin. Although the mite causes marked hypersensitivity reactions, particularly in crusted (severe) scabies, little is known about the specific scabies mite molecules involved in such immunologic responses. We have identified six genes encoding scabies mite homologues of mu and delta-like glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) as well as novel house dust mite GSTs. A mu class S. scabiei GST was subcloned into a prokaryotic expression system. The purified recombinant protein rSsGST01 reacted strongly with IgE and IgG4 in sera from crusted scabies patients. This response was not observed with control antigens or with ordinary scabies and uninfested patient sera. In addition, the specific IgE response to rSsGST01 did not correlate with the total IgE level of the patient. These results suggest that GST may play a role in the pathophysiology associated with crusted scabies.
BACKGROUND: Currently, the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis (AR) is arrived at predominantly by a clinical history and by systemic sensitization tests, but specific nasal provocation tests (NPT) may establish a better direct correlation between etiologic surveyed allergens and nasal symptoms. OBJECTIVES: To standardize the specific NPT with one of the most important house-dust mites, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, monitored by acoustic rhinometry, in children and adolescents, and propose a simplified specific NPT to improve its clinical applicability as a diagnostic tool. METHODS: Sixteen controls (group 1) and 17 patients with an AR diagnosis sensitized to D. pteronyssinus (group 2) underwent a specific NPT with D. pteronyssinus. The acoustic rhinometry was performed after instillation of 0.15 mL of increasing concentrations of D. pteronyssinus (5000 BU/mL). The test was finalized after (1) instillation of the final concentration of D. pteronyssinus, or (2) after a 20% or more reduction in the ...
Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Dust mite (Dermatophagoides sp.). Millions of dust mites inhabit the home, feeding on dead human skin that are common in house dust. The mites body is in three parts: the gnathosoma (head region) adapted for feeding on dead skin, the propodosma (carrying the 1st and 2nd pair of walking legs) and the hysterosoma (locating the 3rd and 4th pairs of legs). Dust mites produce 10-20 waste particles per day. The dead bodies and faecal pellets can trigger allergic responses. The whole life cycle from egg to adult takes approximately one month to complete, mature female mites can lay from 1-2 eggs per day. Adult mites can live up to two months. The most important house dust mites worldwide are Dermatophagoides farinae and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. Magnification: x44 when shortest axis printed at 25 millimetres. - Stock Image C032/1527
TY - JOUR. T1 - Involvement of xanthine oxidoreductase-related oxidative stress in a Dermatophagoides farinae-induced asthma model of NC/Nga mice. AU - Setiawan, Heri. AU - Nagaoka, Kenjiro. AU - Kubo, Masayuki. AU - Fujikura, Yoshihisa. AU - Ogino, Keiki. PY - 2016. Y1 - 2016. N2 - Oxidative stress is widely known to play a role in asthma. However, the contribution of xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) as a source of the superoxide anion radical (O2 -) in oxidative stress associated with asthma has not yet been examined in detail. Here we investigated pathophysiological changes in XOR in an experimental model of asthma induced by the house dust mite Dermatophagoides farinae (Df). In the lungs of Df-treated mice, the production of O2 - from XOR increased and the nitrite concentrations decreased, whereas the protein expression of XOR remained unchanged. Moreover, the protein expression levels of XOR and the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were higher in ...
Sensitization to house dust mites (HDM) is highly prevalent among the young atopic population in Singapore. Previously published data suggest that individuals with skin allergies show preferred sensitization to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus while individuals with pure respiratory allergies show preferred sensitization to Blomia tropicalis. The aim of our study was to compare the sensitization profiles between children with asthma and those with eczema to D. pteronyssinus and B. tropicalis and their specific allergens. A total of 60 children, 30 with asthma and 30 with eczema were recruited. IgE levels specific for a panel of HDM allergens from the two mite species were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The asthma group showed highest sensitization to Blo t5 while the eczema group showed highest sensitization to Der p5. Comparison between the two disease groups showed that the eczema group had significantly higher IgE levels for Der p (p=0.042) and its allergens Der p1 (p=0.019) ...

To establish whether allergic asthma could be induced experimentally in a nonhuman primate using a common human allergen, three female rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were sensitized with house dust mite (Dermatophagoides farinae) allergen (HDMA) by subcutaneous injection, followed by four intranasal sensitizations, and exposure to allergen aerosol 3 hours per day, 3 days per week for up to 13 weeks. Before aerosol challenge, all three monkeys skin-tested positive for HDMA. During aerosol challenge with HDMA, sensitized monkeys exhibited cough and rapid shallow breathing and increased airway resistance, which was reversed by albuterol aerosol treatment. Compared to nonsensitized monkeys, there was a fourfold reduction in the dose of histamine aerosol necessary to produce a 150% increase in airway resistance in sensitized monkeys. After aerosol challenge, serum levels of histamine were elevated in sensitized monkeys. Sensitized monkeys exhibited increased levels of HDMA-specific IgE in serum, ...
Intradermal skin test is a method for diagnosis of allergic dermatoses and revelation of the allergens involved in dogs, but standardization of the procedure remains incomplete. The aim of the present study was to interpret the results of allergens, evaluate their clinical relevance and selection of candidate allergens for immunotherapy.. Thirty-nine aqueous allergen extracts and Staphylococcus phage lysate (SPL) were used for intradermal skin testing. Intradermal skin test was applied to 42 atopic dogs.. Positive intradermal skin test has been found in 26 (62%) dogs with allergic dermatitis. The most common positive hypersensitivity was against Dermatophagoides farinae (n=11), Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (n=9), Staphylococcus aureus (n=9) and flea bite hypersensitivity (n=7). Specific immunomodulatory solutions were applied to 4 dogs against D. farinae and D. pteronyssinus. SPL intradermal test positive 7 dogs with recurrent pyoderma were received a commercially available bacterin ...

Background: Allergic sensitisation is a major risk factor for asthma in adults. In Sweden, pollens and furry animals are the main sensitisers, while mites play a minor role and often exists as co-sensitisation.. Aim: To study risk factors for mite sensitisation in Swedish adults.. Methods: Out of 18072 participants in the West Sweden Asthma Study, a random sample of 1472 aged 16-60 y were invited to skin prick testing (SPT) 2009-2012. SPTs covered 11 aeroallergens, including the mites D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae. Complete SPTs were performed in 788 subjects (58% women).. Results: The prevalence of any mite sensitisation was 12.6%, 11.3% to D. pteronyssinus and 9.6% to D. farinae. Physician-diagnosed asthma was seen in 12.1% and current wheeze in 23.6%. Sensitisation to pollens, animals and mites showed similar risk factor patterns, however mite sensitisation was also associated with work exposure to gas, dust and fumes (GDF), OR 2.0 (1.2-3.3) and low birth weight (,2500g, LBW) OR 1.9 (1.1- ...

Background: Der f 7 is the group 7 allergen from the dust mite Dermatophagoides farinae, homologous to the major allergen Der p 7 from D. pteronyssinus. Monoclonal antibody that bind to residues Leu48 and Phe50 was found to inhibit IgE binding to residue Asp159, which is important for the cross-reactivity between Der f 7 and Der p 7. Methodology/Principal Findings: Here, we report the crystal structure of Der f 7 that shows an elongated and curved molecule consisting of two anti-parallel β-sheets - one 4-stranded and the other 5-stranded - that wrap around a long C-terminal helix. The overall fold of Der f 7 is similar to Der p 7 but key difference was found in the β1-β2 loop region. In Der f 7, Leu48 and Phe50 are in close proximity to Asp159, explaining why monoclonal antibody binding to Leu48 and Phe50 can inhibit IgE binding to Asp159. Both Der f 7 and Der p 7 bind weakly to polymyxin B via a similar binding site that is formed by the N-terminal helix, the 4-stranded β-sheet and the ...
The complete mechanisms of allergen immunotherapy are not clear and remain the subject of investigation. The allergic reaction is dependent on the presence of allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies that are bound to specific receptors on mast cells and basophils. The presence of IgE antibodies sensitizes these cells, and upon interaction with the appropriate allergens, histamine and other mediators are released which produce local or systemic responses in sensitive individuals, and characteristic symptoms of atopic diseases, such as allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma. Changes in serum antibody and T-lymphocyte responses resulting from immunotherapy have been demonstrated, and these changes often correlate closely with clinical (symptom) improvements. Specific mechanisms may vary depending on the nature of the allergic disease, the allergenic specificities of patients and populations, extract formulations, route of administration, dose and duration of treatment.². Subcutaneous ...
Antagonists of the type 1 cysteinyl leukotriene receptor (CysLT1R) are widely used to treat asthma and allergic rhinitis, with variable response rates. Alveolar macrophages express UDP-specific P2Y6 receptors that can be blocked by off-target effects of CysLT1R antagonists. Sensitizing intranasal doses of an extract from the house dust mite Dermatophagoides farinae (Df) sharply increased the levels of UDP detected in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of mice. Conditional deletion of P2Y6 receptors before sensitization exacerbated eosinophilic lung inflammation and type 2 cytokine production in response to subsequent Df challenge. P2Y6 receptor signaling was necessary for dectin-2-dependent production of protective IL-12p40 and Th1 chemokines by alveolar macrophages, leading to activation of NK cells to generate IFN-γ. Administration of CysLT1R antagonists during sensitization blocked UDP-elicited potentiation of IL-12p40 production by macrophages in vitro, suppressed the Df-induced production of ...

Abstract The scabies mite Sarcoptes scabiei and the Dermatophagoides house dust mites (HDM) are related phylogenetically and are the sources of several cross-reactive antigens. The purpose of this study was to investigate the immune response to S. scabiei and HDM in scabietic patients. Skin test sensitivity and serum IgE to both S. scabiei and HDM were determined for patients who had or previously had confirmed ordinary scabies. A retrospective group included nine subjects who had received successful treatment three weeks to one year prior to the study. A prospective group included 16 subjects with active scabies. Allergic histories were obtained, serum was collected, and skin prick tests (SPTs) were performed at enrollment for all and periodically over the next 12 months for the prospective patients. None of the individuals in either group reported a known sensitivity to HDM. Six of the nine retrospective patients were SPT positive to both S. scabiei and HDM and two of these showed circulating IgE
