New Mouse Anti-House Dust Mite Der p2 Antibody ELISA Kits

House dust mite (HDM) is one of the most common asthma allergens, affecting up to 85% of asthma patients (1). More than 20 types of HDM allergens in Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p) are defined based on sequential and functional homologies. Among these HDM allergens, group 2 (Der p2) is a myeloid differentiation factor 2-related lipid-recognition protein. Der p2 can activate toll-like receptor 4 on respiratory epithelial cells and thus play a role in developing respiratory diseases (2, 3). In mice, Der p2 has been utilized as a potential candidate for allergy vaccine development (4), especially for DNA vaccines (5).

To study the allergen-specific pathological effects and immune response elicited by Der p2 in mouse models of human asthma, Chondrex, Inc. has released new Mouse Anti-Der p2 IgG, IgG2a, IgG2b, and IgM Antibody ELISA Kits (Catalog #3065-3068).

Please also refer to our other HDM allergen antibody ELISA kits for more assays.
