Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank, 1781) is an emerging source of allergens in stored products and homes. Feces proteases are the major allergens of astigmatid mites (Acari: Acaridida). In addition, the mites are carriers of microorganisms and microbial adjuvant compounds that stimulate innate signaling pathways. We sought to analyze the mite feces proteome, proteolytic activities, and mite-bac...

Aspergillus flavus F5 was used to reduce AgNO3 form silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) that were monitored by a color change from colorless yellowish-brown. The characterizations achieved UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, TEM, SEM-EDX, and XRD. Data showed there successful formation of crystalline, spherical shape Ag-NPs with particle average size 12.5 ± 5.1 nm. FT-IR clarified the role various functional...

The house-dust mite (HDM), commonly found in human dwellings, is an important source of inhalant and contact allergens. In this report, the importance of HDM allergy in Korea and the characteristics of allergens from dust mite are reviewed with an emphasis on investigations performed in Korea. In Korea, Dermatophagoides farinae is the dominant species of HDM, followed by D. pteronyssinus. Tyrop...
