Antigenic and allergenic properties of the storage mite Tyrophagus putrescentiae. 1984

L G Arlian, and D P Geis, and D L Vyszenski-Moher, and I L Bernstein, and J S Gallagher

The antigens and allergens in the storage mite Tyrophagus putrescentiae, commonly found in grain and hay and sometimes in house dust, were characterized by crossed immunoelectrophoresis and crossed radioimmunoelectrophoresis. Three mite extracts, T. putrescentiae (TP) mite bodies, feces, and a combination of mites, feces, and culture medium (TP + CM) were studied. TP and TP + CM (primarily feces) extracts exhibited 20 and 18 antigens, respectively. By use of serum from two skin test-positive patients, autoradiograms demonstrated TP contained two allergens and TP + CM contained five allergens, three of which probably originated from feces. CM (whole wheat flour) did not stimulate antibody production in rabbits. TP feces shared 10 antigenic determinants with TP and 14 with TP + CM. Two antigens common to TP feces and TP were also shared allergens.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007123 Immunoelectrophoresis, Two-Dimensional Immunoelectrophoresis in which a second electrophoretic transport is performed on the initially separated antigen fragments into an antibody-containing medium in a direction perpendicular to the first electrophoresis. Immunoelectrophoresis, Crossed,Immunoelectrophoresis, 2-D,Immunoelectrophoresis, 2D,2-D Immunoelectrophoresis,2D Immunoelectrophoresis,Crossed Immunoelectrophoresis,Immunoelectrophoresis, 2 D,Immunoelectrophoresis, Two Dimensional,Two-Dimensional Immunoelectrophoresis
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
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
D005433 Flour A powdery meal obtained from ground up starchy foodstuff, such as seeds of WHEAT; RICE and other EDIBLE GRAIN; LEGUMES; and NUTS; or ground up PLANT TUBERS.

D000485 Allergens Antigen-type substances that produce immediate hypersensitivity (HYPERSENSITIVITY, IMMEDIATE). Allergen
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000941 Antigens Substances that are recognized by the immune system and induce an immune reaction. Antigen
D014908 Triticum A plant genus of the family POACEAE that is the source of EDIBLE GRAIN. A hybrid with rye (SECALE CEREALE) is called TRITICALE. The seed is ground into FLOUR and used to make BREAD, and is the source of WHEAT GERM AGGLUTININS.
