Characterization of glutathione S‐transferase from dust mite, Der p 8 and its immunoglobulin E cross‐reactivity with cockroach glutathione S‐transferase

Abstract

A high frequency of sensitization to mite GST among allergic subjects was observed but the titres of IgE reactivity were low. The IgE cross-reactivity between mite and cockroach GST suggests that GST is a panallergen.
