Blueprint for the House Dust Mite

The completeness of the coverage of a genome assembly is a critical starting point for all genomic projects so considerable attention is given to the sequencing metrics, which showed high indicators of success.

Protective anti-outer membrane protein immunity against Pasteurella pneumotropica infection of mice

The proteins examined were the homologues of the P4, P6, P26, and D15 proteins of Haemophilus influenzae.

Defective respiratory tract immune surveillance in asthma : A primary causal factor in disease onset and progression

The relative importance of respiratory viral infections vs inhalant allergy in asthma pathogenesis is the subject of ongoing debate.

Der p 11 is a major allergen for house dust mite-allergic patients suffering from atopic dermatitis

House dust mites (HDMs) belong to the most potent indoor allergen sources worldwide and are associated with allergic manifestations in the respiratory tract.
