Characterization of the allergen Der f 7 from house dust mite extracts by species-specific and crossreactive monoclonal antibodies.

Abstract

Der f 7 has been defined by its natural N-terminal sequence and MoAbs. It apparently exists as different glycosylation and degradation products in mite extracts, the relative abundance of which differs with different preparations. A two-site ELISA to measure the allergen was developed.
