1. A study of allergens in the mite Lepidoglyphus destructor, using monoclonal antibodies and recombinant techniques
Abstract : Mites are one of the most common causes of allergic reactions in many parts of the world. They can broadly be divided into two categories: house dust mites, primarily found in dwellings, and storage mites, primarily found in farming environments and grain storage facilities. Storage mites have now also been shown to exist in house dust. READ MORE

2. Clinical and immunological studies of respiratory allergy among farmers : with focus on dust mite allergy
Abstract : Many studies have shown an increase in the prevalence of asthma and rhinoconjunctivitis in most of the industrialised world. In addition, occupational asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis and allergies have increased during the last decade. READ MORE

3. Dust mite allergens : cloning, characterisation and T-cell responses
Abstract : The number of allergens that have been cloned has increased dramatically during the last 10 years, and today, over 400 allergen sequences are available in the databases. In addition, at least 15 dust mite allergens have been characterised. READ MORE

4. Recombinant cat and mite allergens as tools in the study of diagnosis and treatment of allergy
Abstract : Allergic diseases, such as allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic eczema, are a major health problem world-wide, affecting up to 30% of the population. A large proportion of the patients are allergic to indoor allergens, such as mite and cat allergens, which are airborne and thus cause symptoms in the airways upon inhalation. READ MORE

5. Molecular characterisation of major allergens from mite (Lep d 2) and cat (Fel d 1)
Abstract : The prevalence of allergic disease has increased significantly during the last decades and today more than 30% of the Swedish population is affected. By using recombinant allergens, diagnostics and treatment can be improved and the mechanisms of allergic reactions may be further explored. READ MORE
