Allergen name: Tyr p 5
Allergen source: Major taxonomic group: Animalia Arthropoda
Order: Sarcoptiformes
Species: Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Mold mite, cheese mite)
NCBI Taxomony ID: 59818
Biochemical name:Group 5/21 allergen
Molecular mass:14 kDa
Allergenicity:Sera from 43 mite-allergic patients (allergic rhinitis and/or asthma upon exposure to mites + positive sIgE to Tyr p by ImmunoCAP) were tested. Of those 35 (81%) had IgE to rTyr p 5.0101 by ELISA, while sera from 5 tree-pollen allergic patients without mite sensitization were negative. Twelve sera were also tested by Western blot with rTyr p 5.0101, 6 of which (50%) yielded a positive signal.
Route of allergen exposure:Airway
