[Clinico-immunologic characteristics of mite-borne bronchial asthma].

The authors describe clinicoimmunological features of bronchial asthma caused by Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. This type of asthma usually afflicts young persons, its course is mild. The main symptoms are dyspnea, rhinitis and conjunctivitis.

[Effect of mite allergens on the electrophoretic mobility of guinea pig lymphocytes].

The use of the method of electrophoretic mobility measurement has made it possible to demonstrate that Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae allergens are species-specific and possess common antigenic properties. The allergenic properties of D. pteronyssinus allergens are more pronounced than those of D.

[Allergenic activity of mites of the genus Dermatophagoides].

The allergenic activities of the laboratory batches of D. farinae allergens have been studied by the methods of indirect mast-cell degranulation, neuroglial cytocrit, electrophoretic mobility changes. D.

[Allergenic mites (Acariformes, Pyroglyphidae) in house dust].

Paper is the second part of the literature review on house dust mites (including 1985). It deals with the diagnosis of the dust mite allergy, the nature of the mite allergens, distribution and population density of the mites in various premises, seasonal population dynamics and population age structure of the dermatophagoid mites, life cycle and breeding of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and D. farinae on different food substrates.

[Effect of tomicide and the cell wall biopolymers of Streptococcus sp. Thom-1606 on mast cell degranulation].

The influence of tomicide and biopolymers obtained from the cell wall of Streptococcus sp. TOM-1606 on the degranulation of mast cells was studied. Among the biopolymers of the streptococcal cell-wall polysaccharide was shown to induce the highest destruction of mast cells (14.
