Specific Measurement of a Major Mite Allergen,Der f II,by an Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay System Using Monoclonal Anti-Der II Antibodies |
| |
Abstract: | An enzyme linked immunosorbent assay system using a monoclonal antibody, 15E11, specific for a major allergen Der f II in house dust mite, was developed. This system detected only Der f II in the presence of Der p II and other allergens. The Der f II contents in several house dust samples significantly correlated with the numbers of the mites in the same house dust samples (n = 14, r = 0.88, p < 0.001). These data showed that this system was useful for specific measurement of Der f II in house dusts. |
