Only few allergens derived from house dust mite (HDM) species have been evaluated in terms of their potential to induce allergic inflammation. In this study, we aimed evaluate different aspects the allergenicity and allergenic activity Blo t 2, a Blomia tropicalis allergen. 2 was produced as recombinant protein Escherichia coli. Its tested humans by skin prick test basophil activation assays, mice, passive cutaneous anaphylaxis model airway Sensitization rate (54.3%) similar that found 21...
Background: Sensitization to Blomia tropicalis is associated with asthma in various tropical and subtropical countries; however, information about the specific molecular components this disease scarce. Objective: Using diagnosis, we sought identify B allergens Colombia. Methods: Specific IgE (sIgE) 8 recombinant (Blo t 2, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 21) was determined using an in-house ELISA system patients (n=272) controls (n=298) recruited a national prevalence study performed several Colombian...
Desde su descripción inicial en los años noventa, una estructura denominada Urbanorum spp, ha generado controversias la comunidad científica con respecto a condición biológica. Por sus características morfológicas observadas bajo microscopia óptica, algunos bioanalistas lo han considerado un organismo protozoario. Sin embargo, no se cuenta el respaldo científico suficiente para considerar esta ser vivo y, aún más, clasificado taxonómicamente como parásito. En reflexión, reportan por primera...
