Purpose: Recognition of individual allergens by IgE is crucial for triggering symptoms in allergic rhinitis (AR) or asthmatic (AA) patients. House dust mite (HDM) allergy is frequent around the world, the sensitization profile to individual HDM allergens varies in individual HDM-allergic patients (APs). The aim of this study was to evaluate the pattern of IgE sensitization to three major Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp) allergens among patients from North Eastern Poland suffering from HDM-AR and/or AA.
Patients And Methods: The study was performed on 323 HDM-AR and/or AA patients and 106 controls (CG) including 30 healthy non-atopic subjects, 32 AR patients not sensitized to Dp and 44 non-atopic asthmatics. IgE levels to natural (n)Der p 1, nDer p 2, recombinant (r)Der p 2.0101 and rDer p 23 allergens were measured by ELISA.
Results: The majority of HDM-APs were sensitized to nDer p 1 (72.1%), nDer p 2 (81.7%), rDer p 2.0101 (78.3%) and rDer p 23 (70.9%). The frequency of positive results to individual allergens depended on clinical manifestations and the level of IgE to the whole Dp extract. In HDM-AA patients, reactivity to nDer p 1 and rDer p 23 was detected more frequently than in HDM-AR patients. The whole Dp extract completely inhibited IgE binding to nDer p 1 and nDer p 2 but only partially to rDer p 23.
Conclusions: HDM-APs from North-Eastern Poland display sensitization profile to major allergens which is similarly observed in western Europe. HDM-based diagnostic and therapeutic products should include all major allergens.

Introduction: Allergen distribution varies geographically, and local epidemiological data can guide disease prevention and management. We investigated allergen sensitization among patients with three types of allergic skin disease in Suzhou, East China, from 2021 to 2023.
Methods: Serum-specific immunoglobulin-E levels were analyzed from 4,603 patients who visited The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between January 2021 and December 2023.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how synbiotic supplements can help reduce allergic asthma symptoms in offspring exposed to environmental cigarette smoke and house-dust mites.
- - Researchers found that pups from mothers exposed to cigarette smoke had increased lung resistance and elevated immune markers, indicating worse asthma symptoms, but synbiotics helped improve these conditions.
- - By promoting healthy gut bacteria, synbiotic intervention in early life showed promise in reducing allergic reactions and suggests a potential strategy for preventing allergies in children affected by pollution.
NMR residual dipolar couplings investigation in the topology of house dust mite Group V allergens.

Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan. Electronic address:
Blo t 5 is an important major allergen protein from Blomia tropicalis mites, which are prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions, including Taiwan. It is a coiled-coil triple helical bundle, but there currently is ambiguity around its structural fold and packing of the three helices. We have relied on NMR residual dipolar coupling data collected from four different alignment media to confirm that Blo t 5 has left-handed helical topology and further used that data to refine its solution structure.

Article Synopsis
- Seasonal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (SAR) is a common problem for many people, especially in Western countries, and researchers studied its connection to different types of pollen and non-pollen allergens.
- The study looked at the IgE antibodies in patients' blood to see how these antibodies reacted to both grass pollen and a specific dust mite allergen.
- The results showed that having more IgE responses to dust mite proteins was linked to having higher overall IgE levels for pollens, but lower levels for the dust mite allergen itself.
