A cDNA library corresponding to mite protein was screened using anti-Der f II, a major allergen from the house dust mite Dermatophagoides farinae, antibody. Three possible clones were obtained that contained cDNA fragments coding for Der f II, and the nucleotide sequences of the fragments were determined. There were minor differences observed affecting the deduced amino acid sequence among the three cDNA fragments. The amino acid sequence of the purified native Der f II protein could be analyzed to 45 residues from the N-terminus. As a result of comparison, all the three cDNA fragments code for a mature protein with a derived molecular weight of about 14,000. The amino acid sequence was not homologous to any known protein sequences and it contained six cysteine residues and no N-glycosylation sites.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008925 Mites Any arthropod of the subclass ACARI except the TICKS. They are minute animals related to the spiders, usually having transparent or semitransparent bodies. They may be parasitic on humans and domestic animals, producing various irritations of the skin (MITE INFESTATIONS). Many mite species are important to human and veterinary medicine as both parasite and vector. Mites also infest plants. Acarus,Mite

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
