Analysis of the allergen expression of Blomia tropicalis and Blomia kulagini (Astigmata: Glycyphagidae) cultures.
Laboratory cultures of the mites Blomia tropicalis (van Bronswijk, Cock & Oshima) and Blomia kulagini (Zakhvatkin) were used to study the population dynamics of the mites and the kinetics of released allergens during the growth cycle. The analysis of extracts obtained after different incubation periods, by means of immunoblotting, and quantification of the major allergen Blo t 5, allowed defini...
متن کاملQuantitative conjunctival provocation test for controlled clinical trials.
BACKGROUND The conjunctival provocation test (CPT) is a diagnostic procedure for the assessment of allergic diseases. Photographs are taken before and after provocation increasing the redness of the conjunctiva due to hyperemia. OBJECTIVE We propose and evaluate an automatic image processing pipeline for objective and quantitative CPT. METHOD After scale normalization based on intrinsic ima...
متن کاملAllergenic cross-reactivity between Blomia tropicalis and Blomia kulagini (Acari: Echymiopodidae) extracts from optimized mite cultures.
BACKGROUND At present, data about the cross-reactivity of Blomia spp. comes from studies made among different genera of mites, and no results have been published involving different species of the genus Blomia. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to find out the level of cross-reactivity between the two main species of Blomia causing allergy, and its implication in the diagnosis of Blomia sen...
متن کاملPrevalence of Blomia tropicalis in wheezing children in central Taiwan.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In a previous study, we found that wheezing children in rural central Taiwan had a significantly lower average sensitization rate to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) than those in Taipei city. We propose that Blomia tropicalis (Blo t) might be the major mite allergen in rural central Taiwan. METHODS Using the preserved sera from our previous study, we retrospectiv...
