Tropomyosins in mosquito and house dust mite cross‐react at the humoral and cellular level

Abstract

Tropomyosins from D. pteronyssinus and A. aegypti show humoral and cellular cross-reactivity, involving 5 potential T cell-activating regions. The more pronounced cross-reactivity of Aed a 10.01 and Der p 10 matched the higher sequence similarity of both proteins.
