New forms of home dust mite allergoid

Abstract

Aim. The purpose of this study is to create the technology of preparation of the polymeric allergoid received by chemical modification of Dermatophagoides farinae extract by a formaldehyde and a monomeric allergoid of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus received by succinilation and studying of their physical, chemical and immunologic properties.Materials and methods. In the modification species determined the protein content, isoelectric points of protein components by a method of isoelectrofocusing (IEF), esterase activity. Antigenic properties of allergoid studied by methods of an immunodiffusion and an immunoelectrophoresis. Applied microdot immunoenzyme assay to characterize the specific activity of a resulting allergoid. Received by a succinilation allergoid was also studied on physical and chemical indicators.Results. It is established That the formalinization is resulted by the expressed depression of allergenic activity of an allergoid. It is also shown that succinilation leads to essential depression of allergenicity of a monomeric allergoid due to blockade of B-cellular epitopes and to conservation of an adjuvanticity helps to T-cellular epitopes.Conclusion. Thanks to the proved depression of allergenicity and rising of an adjuvanticity monomeric and polymeric allergoid can be recommended for carrying out allergenspecific immunotherapy (ASIT).
