There is a lack of consensus as to the best way to quantify settled house-dust mite Der p 1 allergen from planar and nonplanar surfaces. To investigate the most appropriate measure of settled house-dust mite Der p 1 allergen, we determined the relationship between Der p 1 allergen content and collected dust weight from planar-surface (mattress) and nonplanar-surface (living-room) samples in 58 homes. There was a direct relationship between Der p 1 content and dust weight for both planar-surface (mattress, n = 217) samples (r = 0.50, P < 0.0001) and nonplanar-surface (living-room, n = 48) samples (r = 0.61, P < 0.0001). Correction for the surface area of the planar surface (mattress) vacuum-cleaned resulted in no additional benefit. We conclude that expression of Der p 1 levels per weight of collected dust appears to be the best method for both planar and nonplanar surfaces.

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

D039741 Antigens, Dermatophagoides Antigens from the house dust mites (DERMATOPHAGOIDES), mainly D. farinae and D. pteronyssinus. They are proteins, found in mite feces or mite extracts, that can cause ASTHMA and other allergic diseases such as perennial rhinitis (RHINITIS, ALLERGIC, PERENNIAL) and atopic dermatitis (DERMATITIS, ATOPIC). More than 11 groups of Dermatophagoides ALLERGENS have been defined. Group I allergens, such as Der f I and Der p I from the above two species, are among the strongest mite immunogens in humans.
