Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus Dust mite faecal pellets that can be small as 10 μm, [1] but can be contained by anti-mite fabrics of a denser pore size. [2]House dust mites (HDM, or simply dust mites) are various species of acariform mites belonging to the family Pyroglyphidae that are found in association with dust in dwellings. [3]
Compared to other forms of peptidase 1, Pso o 1 shares 54% identity with Der f 1, 53% identity with Der p 1, and 53% identity with Eur m 1. [10] A number of amino acid sequences from other peptidase 1 enzymes are shown to be conserved in Pso o 1, including enzymatic amino acids, a N-glycosylation site, and the Der p 1 epitope Leu 147-Gln 160. [10]
Dust mites drown in water. [21] Good properties of anti-mite fabrics have been identified as being: [24] Thread count greater than 246. Pore size of between 2 and 10 micrometres. This will prevent dust mite faecal pellets that can be small as 10 μm. [25] Allergen impenetrability >99%. Dust leakage of less than 4%.

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a type of antibody (or immunoglobulin (Ig) "isoform") that has been found only in mammals. IgE is synthesised by plasma cells. Monomers of IgE consist of two heavy chains (ε chain) and two light chains, with the ε chain containing four Ig-like constant domains (Cε1–Cε4). [1]
Skin scratch test: a deep dermic scratch is performed with help of the blunt bottom of a lancet. [3] Intradermic test: a tiny quantity of allergen is injected under the dermis with a hypodermic syringe. Skin scrape Test: a superficial scrape is performed with help of the back of a needle to remove the superficial layer of the epidermis. [4]
It is advised to check the references for photos of reaction results. [1] Reagent testers might show the colour of the desired substance while not showing a different colour for a more dangerous additive. [2]
Quantitative IgE test results increase the possibility of ranking how different substances may affect symptoms. A rule of thumb is that the higher the IgE antibody value, the greater the likelihood of symptoms. Allergens found at low levels that today do not result in symptoms cannot help predict future symptom development.
