1. Activation of lung epithelial cells by group 2 mite allergens
Sammanfattning : Throughout many parts of the world house dust mites (HDM) are considered as a major source of indoor aeroallergens and they are powerful inducers of allergic diseases. Proteolytic HDM allergens are recognised as being able to directly activate respiratory epithelial cells and thereby actively participate in innate immune responses. LÄS MER
2. Allergenic characterization of the domestic mite Dermatophagoides siboney
Sammanfattning : Allergic reactions to Pyroglyphid mites of the genus Dennatophagoides play an important role in the pathogenesis of asthma and other atopic diseases. Dermatophagoides siboney was described in Cuba in 1982. D. pteronyssinus and D. LÄS MER
3. Dust mite allergens : cloning, characterisation and T-cell responses
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
4. Molecular characterisation of major allergens from mite (Lep d 2) and cat (Fel d 1)
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
5. Transmission routes and vector potential of the poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae
Sammanfattning : The poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae is a blood-feeding ectoparasite causing irritation, stress, and in severe infection, anemia and death of its avian host. This parasite not only causes welfare problems in poultry but also financial losses in egg production worldwide. The aims of this thesis were to elucidate the transmission routes of D. LÄS MER
